So the NNSW decree at the start of the year that clubs might struggle to get Refs for under 17s proved false tonight with Macquaire Football providing 3 officials for the 17s.Originally Posted by NewyTy
Someone at NNSW must have missed the memo about the game as they supplied 0 for the 19s, so 3 guys from Toronto had to Ref and run the lines.
Not having a centre ref for 19s isn't good enough. I understand the lack of linesman as there's a slight shortage of referees but got to send a main ref to each and every New-FM game.
I think you'd find that the junior branches can, and will, provide more referees to the senior games as long as the numbers allow it, such as during the various break weekends (ie Anzac and queens birthday long weekends). However, junior branches first responsibility is to the junior ages and all age, plus 1 ref for newfm 17s and the various wpl and junior NPL. Obviously tonight, Mac refs could afford to send more.
As for the 19s, that's pisspoor communication from NNSWF, NNSWSLR and MFR.

Just heard Singo flogged Thornton. Hearing 5-0. Big win for the Strikers
Are the newfm game times pulled forward like the npl games this weekend?
As it stand they haven't been brought forward as far as I know. It'd be a bit hard when the first game kickoffs at 9:15 as it is. May change but you'd think it'd be announced by now.
Good weekend to have the BYE.
Middle of 2 mid week games, wet, A-League GF...
Valo versus Cessnock
Firsts 5-1
23s 5-1
19s. 3-3
17s. 2-1
Kahiba calling the game off is a joke. Surely the fed have to step in and set some basic guidelines for clubs being allowed to call games off.
Maybe it could be that the refs decide if the pitch is unplayable or something else but the current system doesn't work.
Apparently Lakes have put a complaint in about this. I just drove past the ground. Looks playable to me. Perhaps Gumpy is injured?

Just got messaged the results from Wallsend v Toronto.
17's: Wallsend 7-4, 19's: Wallsend 4-0, 23's: Toronto 3-1 and 1st: Wallsend 4-2.
Maybe they fancy their chances at night now....
What catch-up games are on this week. Know Singo's playing Toronto but any others?
Valo v belswans wed night as well.
Surely Kahibah will have one???????
from what I've been told Thornton could consider themselves a little unlucky and slightly gutted after the "smash and grab" raid by Belswans in the injury time loss!
I think I might just fly up there to the "mud puddle" and swan around and watch this one. Should be a good one to watch. I hear BelSwans are getting a few players back and it may be a little closer than people think.... at least I hope it will be. But the nest is a lot warmer option this time of year.
From playing Kahibah over the last few years I've learnt that they are very protective of that ground.
