OK
At this stage I would say that we (Muswellbrook ) will stay in ID2 . Unless we manage to sign at least another 15 players , we would only be kidding ourselves taking 20 blokes away every weekend to play 3 games. As far as the remaining rounds are concerned , we play Merewether tonight , Charlestown Saturday and Hamilton in the final round. This is a tough run into the final series , and we wont be taking any of these teams lightly. We are well aware that we only need 4 points to win the minor premiership (on goal diff) but we will be playing as we always do...to win. I realise the Charlestown and Hamilton games will be very important to both teams in securing a top 4 spot and I wish them the best of luck. Either way the next few weeks will be entertaining and passionate football. Look forward to it!

Strongly beg to differ on the staying in ZL2 part. I will talk more on that subject if we actually get top spot which as you said we still need to lock down! Agree with rest but, going to be a tough end to the season, fingers crossed we get the job done. Looking forward to tonight!
Do mussy still have there all age o/35's sides ???? Plus you's have a 15's and 17's This year so I think you's would find the numbers to move up if u's win minor premiership
Merewether 1 - 4 Muswellbrook first grade. Much better performance this time - both teams had several chances for more goals but were a touch wasteful. Muswellbrook showing why they r up the top with plenty of speed and movement that made it quite hard for us. Good bunch of blokes who had a laugh and chat with us during the game.
Can honestly say Merewether are a good bunch of blokes , thoroughly enjoyed the enthusiasm they showed with nothing to play for they still came out and played with their heads up and in good spirits. Thanks lads , we at Muswellbrook wish you guys all the best.
The fact....
The hammers have put the nail in the finals series.
score?
First
2-1 Charlie
Reserves
2-1 Charlie
No smack
OK
well done to charlie
will make next week a massive game.
mussy need a point to seal minor premiership (according to posts above)
yet hamo needing a win to get into the finals.
If Medowie win by 8 it could also be interesting....
Also. If Jeso win 6-0 and Mussy draw 1-1, they'll finish equal on points, goal difference AND goals scored!
Sack race, anyone?
When I grow up, I want to be Yohan Cabaye.
Charlestown 2 - 1 Muswellbrook
Well haven't we made it a lot more difficult for ourselves... That being said, last night was one of the best games of football I have been involved in this year. Football is such a funny game, we play awful against Medowie and Merewether and pickup two wins. Put in one of our best team performances of the year and come up short, but in the end that's football. IMO Mussy were definitely the better team in the first period. Created plenty of chances, playing through Charlie's midfield time after time and exposing their wide areas, but again a mixture wastefulness in front of goal, scrambling defense and decent goalkeeping proved detrimental as we only took a one goal lead in at the break. Despite this, Charlie weren't by any means no shows in the first half with Chris their striker looking dangerous everytime he was in possession and was definitely the most likely to create something for them. We just about dealt with him but restricting him to a couple of half chances from range, Charlie's biggest threats being set-pieces and were happy to go into half-time with a clean-sheet and a slim lead.
Second half continued in the same vein, Mussy playing well, Charlestown keeping well in it and threatening from set pieces without really having any clear cut chances in open play. I can't remember the sequence of events exactly but basically in a 10 minute period Charlestown scored from the scraps of a corner and Mussy missed a penalty to seal it. This changed everything. Charlestown looked a lot sharper with their tails up and pushed for the win, Mussy looked a bit leggy possibly from the 3 games in 6 days but regardless it is no excuse, we shouldn't have the lead slip. The final period was pretty end to end, both teams hoping for the winner, which Charlestown grabbed in the last minute of regulation time. Again Mussy not clearing their line from a corner, Charlie picking up the scraps. Game over.
A note on the ref. Hands down the best we have had all season, I don't if he made a wrong call all night, I wish we could have him every game. Similarly the club ref that did the ressies game, thought he was top notch. End of the day big congrats to Charlestown on securing their finals spot, they battled hard all game and took advantage when we dropped our guard in the second half, doing just enough in their defensive third to keep us out as well. Well played guys and you well and truly deserve your finals place. I think Charlestown are a generally solid team, sprinkled with some real quality that makes the difference. I enjoy that they try to play a decent brand of football as well, with both teams attempting to play a passing style last night it was really enjoyable to play and from speaking to a few neutrals, was a great game to watch. Hard to swallow as I think our boys played really well too, just one of those games where Charlie wanted it that little more and showed a little more desperation. There was a bit of niggle during the game, but when its a high-stakes match like last night was, as if it wasn't going to be competitive and have a little bit of fire. I think there is a fair bit of respect between the two clubs but and after the whistle both teams shook hands and the sportsmanship was great.
So it all comes down to the last round, heaps to play for and it should be an absolute cracker!
Its good to see that the race to become Premiers is going down to the last week and same with the race for the final four. It makes my comment at the half way mark some what true, that this comp has been a real tight one. Well for the majority of the table anyway.
How come clubs like Charlestown have little to no supporters? Muswellbrook brought with them maybe 50 people, though some of which were expats living in newy. Charlestown would have had between 5-10. Just surprises me that these clubs can't draw something resembling a crowd, especially on a Saturday night.
Also, big respect to the Charlestown player that came over and thanked the travelling Muswellbrook supports after the game. Top stuff mate. Your #7 could learn a bit from you.

The fact.
Cheers butcher that was me and also also me that reffed.not sure on the crowd but agree that it was a good hard game.maybe you guys up the bush should stop chasing kangaroos and hit the pub a bit more you guys are too fit and fast for my liking.good bunch of blokes and best of luck trying to seal it.txk on the money with your views.
Hi txk do you know if your reserves are still coming down to play tomorrow night v merewether ? I see they cant make the semis now and would be a long way to travel for what some would call a "nothing" game. I'm pretty sure our boys still wanna play.
Hey mate , our boys will definitely be travelling down. they will be looking to end the season on a high after an inconsistent season.
What can we say? Not a lot except hats off to Charlestown for showing that they are a great football side and are serious contenders for the title. also seemed like a good bunch of blokes , and well deserved the win. so good luck in the final series lads.
