Big win in 1st grade.... a very dominant performance by Belswans from the start. 4 goals to Jamie Hadlow will boost his confidence no end.
23's was a very scrappy game.
19's good result for Westy against the competition leaders. BelSwans were flat and out enthused by Westy on the day.
17's (didn't see the game)... toldit was very competitive and got a little fiesty in the closing stages.
Scores from Stags and Cessnock
1sts 2-1 Stags
23s 2-0 Cessnock
19s 4-0? Cessnock
17s 3-1 Stags
For anyone that is interested in my clashing kits, this is a picture from yesterday (thanks to the Stags facebook for the picture):
OK
The shorts and socks don't clash, sure.
NNSW historically doesn't mind if shorts clash, they never have. Only socks and shirts clash are issues.
Toronto and Cessnock both play in vertical stripes, the same shade of yellow, striped against a darker shade (in one instance blue, the other black). It is a clash. It was painful to watch, and I imagine at times painful to play with.
Even Cessnock's yellow/black striped shirt would clash with its own alternate kit of all-yellow.
Best rule of thumb with kits is to intentionally blur your eyes a bit. If you can still make out the difference between the two, it's fine. If they look similar when you do, it's a clash. Blur your eyes and tell me the shirts of Cessnock and Toronto look different in that above picture.
OK

Is this the away strip you are referring to?
If so, i also approve.
Some mad cxxt I imagine.
According to the ladder, Lakes still have 2 games in hand? Only 4 points off Valo now.
Wallsend's hopes are fading, have the bye this week and the gap between them and Valo will only get bigger.
Lakes and Valo in 2 weeks will be a massive game, will decide promotion for sure.
Whinge, whinge, whinge or frustrated, frustrated, frustrated. Who cares, if they are good enough it shouldn't bother them. At least they don't have to make a trip to Singo midweek for their 4th game in 11 days like some club I know. I bet they don't cop 2 late penalty decisions to square the game up either!
Not trying to stir the pot mate. They've got a tough schedule. Went to Singo on the weekend and to make that trip midweek would be a tough for blokes who have jobs and what not. Especially an 8pm kickoff. Wish you guys luck and the Belswans are definitely my dark horse pick for the finals. In some very good form.
Looking forward to watching Wallsend and Lakes tonight as it'll be the first neutral NewFM game I get to this season (being involved with Cooks Hill of course.) Anyway completely agree with what you said. If Lakes want to play NPL they'll have to step it up to another level. Whoever finishes top will no doubt have earned it as it's been a tight comp this season.
Can confirm tonight's game (Wallsend v Lakes) has been moved to Macquarie Field. Apparently Wallsend's ground has some issues in a few spots so they let Northern know about it and the game's been moved. Not the best result but better than calling it off.
Pretty sure it's off completely mate
I spoke with the secretary of Lakes so think it's moved. Would be good if Wallsend or Lakes confirmed it somewhere. Will email him again and make sure.
*Update: Can now confirm Northern, Lakes and Wallsend have all agreed to play the matches tonight at Macquarie Field. Will definitely be played. 23's: 6pm and 1sts: 7:45pm.
