2023 Zone League 1

[Comeonmate]

Croatia are scrambling, star man Guinno is doing nothing with the ball (40 goals last season) and his side kick McDonald is sub par this season. Coming 4th when they should?ve been much higher with the squad they have. So yes, I?m not surprised they are throwing wild amount of money. Careful lads, the deadline day ends soon!

How?s your ?100 goal challenge? going this year?

Can confirm at Mayfield Jnr we pay no players.

Good to see Luka back talking about something with 0 relevance and a time were most of us were just cum.

[AcK0]

So, so far we can agree that most teams don't pay players;-

Hamilton Azzurri - don't pay players
Stockton Sharks
Norths
Newcastle Croatia
South Maitland - don't pay players
Bolwarra - don't pay players
Mayfield - don't pay players
Merewether
New Lambton
Wallsend - don't pay players

Any updates on the others?

Croatia had plenty of chances but i thought Azzurri deserved their win in 1sts. Bit of a logjam at the top of the table between Norths, Stocko & Azzurri now
Reserve Grade was hard fought and would say the scoreline is probably fair
3rds was one way traffic IMO, Croatia GK made plenty of good saves to keep it to 2-0 including a penalty save. I can't remember Azzurri GK having to make too many saves if any?

The postage stamp ground looks very worn out, must get plenty of use by the looks of it?

Mate you've got them jumping and crying. You hit the nerve so you are correct.

btw if you can get paid in 3rd 4th 5th div more power to ya.

Absolutely correct, the way they carry on trying to deny it and getting upset just proves it further.

I do laugh when they get upset about Croatia's success, technicality bullshit, time to push further.

Question, is every club that covers or subsidises any cost with sponsorship money instead of passing it through to player registrations paying their players too?

[Avocadomexican]

Good to see Stockton doing well this year. Still plenty of rounds to go but appear as them and Norths are the only ones that are capable of taking down the crab army.

1-0 Stocko 3rds
2-0 Azzurri Res
6-1 Azzurri 1sts

Some statement this

[Buddha]

Azzurri v Bolwarra
6-1 thirds, individual goal of the season to open the scoring.
2-1 Ressies. Action packed second half saw all the goals
2-0 Firsts. Once again an action packed second half saw all the goals

No referees today so appreciate the guys who filled in. A Thankless job.

Anyone know the story behind the week off after Rd 17 and also another week off after Rd 18 before semis start?
Purely wet weather purposes? If so, it seems excessive.

Week off after 17 was always Wet Weather spare. Have done this last few seasons. The week after Round 18 is a strange one though

So with Azzurri's win on Saturday meaning they only need 1 point from their next 2 games to confirm the Premiership..and Big Azzurri safe from Relegation in ZPL, does that mean 2nd place gets the Automatic promotion in this division?

Or does it mean last place in ZPL survives the drop?

Or will the ZPL competition just go ahead with two Azzurris?

Why wouldn?t the 2 Azzurri?s come together as 1 for the new ZL1?

[gtg]

Amazing that Azzurri look like they will beat Croatia once again. This must absolutely destroy the head people at Croatia especially considering the money they spend on players only to lose to a bunch of mates two years in a row.
