Hearing that wallsend are spending up on players after there promotion looking to win it all in the ZPL and wanting to go back into the newfm (even thought there isn't promotion really, unless nnswff want you there) anyone else heard the same
Just a reminder that New Lambton Eagles will be holding a second week of trials at Alder Park this weekend (weather permitting) at 10am on Sunday. For further information please see the Facebook page or contact the Res/23's coach Callum Manderson on 0419714181.
A hand clap to NCC for getting this right. It would make no sense to boot them off Adamstown Park and getting them to play at substandard parks and facilities at Lambton. They should be considered a joint tenant considering the amount of time they have been at the ground now. After all are we not all about getting our code and premier division teams playing on the best fields and facilities we can?

NBN draw now finalised and public, Women's draw should follow shortly now Thornton stepped up and replaced Lakes. Once they are finished available dates will be known for New Lambton games.
Depending on how much ID (Russ Henry) is willing to base ZPL draw on those availabilities will be big influence in home games played at Adamstown.
Interesting point will be who had say on closing grounds due to wet conditions.
Only going off what I saw on their Facebook page.
As for the WPL, assuming NBN requires sat/sun, there's nothing to stop NL and the WPL playing on the same w/e as each other, on the w/e that NBN isn't playing there, as per this year.
Will be interesting to see how the pitch holds up.

Is Platts seniors impacted by the recent article about the juniors being close to folding if new volunteers did not step forward?
I have noticed they seem to be the remaining club still actively advertising inviting coaching applications in Sat Herald, and paid positions at that.
Can't say for certain on that, but I know that the juniors were looking at getting a ground specific for their all age teams, in The Sanctuary (Fletcher), but another pair of clubs have teamed up and are confident of getting the ground allocated to them by NCC.
I will say that it's always been my belief that Plattsy have always had a rather strong junior base. That's based from my experiences with Lambton over the years. If they did fold due to a lack of volunteers, it'll be a huge shame.

The New Lambton Eagles will be having a kick for all current and prospective players on Sunday 15/12 at Alder Park, New Lambton.
Apparently is was a bit warm last week, so kick off will be 9am to avoid some of the heat!
Any queries please contact:
Head Coach- Paul McGuiness- 0432611570
Assistant- Callum Manderson- 0419714181
We (Cookers) did it with Merewether WPL at Athfield.
No problems...ever.
Some weeks it was just the 2 grades of ZL3 played on the Sat though.
Much less traffic on there than has been allowed in previous years.
prediction that wallsend will make a run for this title after promotion from zl1
if the rumours of adding lez and bobby to a already strong first grade squad are true.
Lez has signed bobby not too sure bout
keep the player movement discussion to the other thread guys
THE GALLAGHER SHIELD
Wallsend Fc vs South Cardiff Fc
Wallsend will play South Cardiff in the very first Gallagher Shield. The Gallagher shield is in honour of Peter Gallagher who passed away from brain cancer just last year. Pete played for both of these great clubs and was a special player and person.
We are hoping to make this a yearly event between these two sides. The day will be held at the Gardens in Wallsend on February 2 and next year at South Cardiff, all three grades will play: 3rd grade, reserves and first grade. There will be a points system in place to determine which club wins the Shield, for example: If wallsend win in reserve grade they get 5 pts, if first grade win they get 7 pts etc. Which ever club ends up with the most points will win the Gallagher Shield and will get to keep that shield at their club for the year as well as bragging rights!
Each year we would like to dedicate this day to someone in need. Katie Vullo lost her husband just 8 weeks ago to a brain tumor. He had only just graduated with first class honours at Newcastle University as a lawyer & they were moving to Sydney for a job when he was diagnosed in November 2012 with a grade 4 GBM. The highest grade and most aggressive brain tumor. He passed away at the age of just 30. Katie is also 34 weeks preganant with their first child.
So on the day we are looking to raise some money for her and her child. The day is all about helping someone in need and I’m sure we can pack out the stadium and show our support!
For entry, there will be a gold coin donation. Also on the day there will be a BBQ, raffles, canteen, bar, entertainment and of course, some competitive football.
It would be great to see everyone wearing red & white on the day. After the games are finished, the club boxes at the top of the stadium will be opened for everyone to enjoy some drinks and share some stories! It would be great to get as many old boys from both clubs to make it a special day. Red and white is the colour of the day. So if you have nothing on that day, feel free to come down and have a watch. Cheers
