2023 Zone Premier League

[Zonal Marking]

Fair question to ask mate, but thought I'd get in before the shit slinging comes from all angles.
Semi final was a handball on the line in a pressure semi final situation.
GF was two yellow cards in a highly contested GF where I think you'll find it was hard to believe there wasn't one issued to the opposition.
Swansea was a yellow card at best, but referees have a split second to make a decision and sometimes that happens.
The weekend was a last man challenge.

They were all footballing incidents and as a club there's no issue there at all. These things happen.
I think the fact that during the 2021 season we had one single red card (in third grade) for the whole season has to give some substance that there is no issue at the club. By all means, we don't want any of this to continue, but there is no problem as far as we are concerned.

Cheers!

Cheers for clarifying it all. The only one of those games I attended was the grand final but yeah obviously you hear there was a red card in a match and most peoples initial reaction is to think it was probably for something silly.

Of course send offs are part of the game and all teams in the competition will most likely rack up their share. I just noticed that there have been quite a few recently in a short space of time for your lads.

Azzurri were too good today with the Swans not being able to capitalise on their chances.

Special mention to the Azzurri fella BBQing alone, firstly not knowing how to turn it on, secondly attempting to cook an egg with the lid still on and thirdly placing the sausages still in the plastic container on top of the hot grill for that extra carcinogenic zest ����

Even the ZPL bad boy knows how to handle a bbq

Peak Zone League

This legendary BBQ man should be inducted into Zone League Hall of Fame

Respectable result. Any injuries?

[ha'way the lads]

How's everyone's grounds looking with this weather rolling in?

Respectable result. Any injuries?

Nothing of note thankfully. Some very sore bodies though!

Myer park update is that drainage extension work is just about done. There's still more work to be done to the ground though. Currently our first home game is scheduled for 20 May.

As always, a considered response.
The weekend?s one was pretty obvious - he took one for the team and walked straight off as the card was shown. No discipline issues that I saw either on the park or in the Technical Area.
As usual the Suns continue to bang them in from range though. 2 specials on Sunday. One from a free kick the other taken on the run

Their attacking talent is top shelf. Hard to argue that there is any better in ZPL. Alex Palozzi banging them in from range is just the norm really.

Azzurri V Suns off

[The Debt Collector]

Swansea vs Mayfield
1sts 3-1
2nds 1-0
3rds 0-6

No ZPL Bad Boy no worries. The heavily depleted Swans have bounced back in emphatic fashion getting the 3 points on a cold rainy day at Chapman.

The Tigers not being able to handle the wet conditions where as Swanseas very own Schueyvasa and Big Papa Rappa were revelling in the wetness.

Could have been 7-1 had it not been for The Aldi McMaster missing multiple chances. From the sidelines The ZPL Bad Boy was doing reenactments showing us all exactly how he would have finished those chances

Special mention to Swanseas 3rd grade Cult hero Frack Bolsen, attempting a majestic slow motion bicycle kick. His huge mullet causing a massive gust of wind making the ball go 10 metres away from him, amazing effort in those conditions.
