FFA Cup - NNSWF

[Premy]

Some people may need to take a step back and realise what we are and what we are not and numbers of people that play our sport in our area will always dictate the depth of quality teams we will have and thus 20-0 and 17-0 is always going to happen in these early rounds of our FFA cup qualifying rounds .

What we are?

What we are is the 4th bigest federation numbers wise and no matter what way you look at it we have lacked on a national scale.

The latest Socceroo of note that the region has developed is James Holland and it can be argued that he developed outside of the region. Before that was Clacka, Before that???
Our State League/ NPL clubs have been behind the ball for some time on the national scale, before the FFA Cup the Brisbane state league handed it to us all but 1 time from memory.
Long gone are the days of Rosebuds and Lloyd and Scotts punching above their weight.

We need to get out of this mentality of being a small fish and start demanding more. On all fronts.

Good post and some valid points .

I remember the club Stewarts & Lloyds. (Before they became Phoenix over on Industrial Drive. Plant became Tubemakers or 'Tubies')
Marshall Soper played for them...and became infamous when he broke someone's leg without remorse...or so or the story goes. The reason why he was hated by the Rowdies. Some of them witnessed the incident.
Bloke was a turncoat to boot!

"live"

a pre-recorded video is usually the best we get, complete with the actual drawing of the clubs being redacted for lack of transparency sake

[RAM]

Soper was a beast.

Shame that Newie missed the best of him. One of the best strikers the country has produced.

Round 3 Draw:

-Jesmond FC v Belmont-Swansea
-Dudley-Redhead v Singleton

-Beresfield United v Lambton Jaffas
-Valentine v Hamilton
-Adamstown v Maitland
-Weston v Charlestown

And most importantly,

12th March when played, when will we know who is hosting what games??

Probably tomorrow based on the past. Normally takes a day to work it out. New-FM teams won't be playing March 12th so top three games on the list will be mid-week games. Singleton however have a Round 2 bye in New-FM so they may play March 12th.

Would suggest the Jesmond v Belswans and Thornton v Westy would be played at the same venue (probably Westy) on the Wednesday night with kickoff at 6.00pm and 8.00pm with Dudley Singleton on 12th or 13th March with ground somewhere in the middle as additional game to the NPL clash

Do you mean this week coming up? Or the midweek after the 12th and 13th?

Not 100% sure but I'd imagine it being the week after.

I think it is time Magic Park got a chance at hosting a game, hopefully they get at least one of them.

Unfortunately out of touch with community football Magic have community football using the ground that weekend.

At a cost no doubt
