What a pathetic excuse for a football pitch.
Didn't they just re sow some grass or something? They were in the paper saying the roots haven't had time to dig in or something.
That was one of Maitland's many excuses
Judging by the state of the pitch at Edgy it doesn't look like any work been done to it recently anyway

** Edgeworth coach Damian Zane is confident Jack McLaughlan Oval’s pitch will be back to its best this year.
The Eagles’ match against the Jets Youth this Saturday was moved to Macquarie Field to allow the rye grass sown this week at Jack McLaughlan Oval to grow.
Attacks from crickets and black beetles, combined with the spraying of a retardant and winter grass remover in February, left the pitch in a poor state.
Zane said grass roots were attacked but “once the rye grass comes through, we’ll be fine and it should get back to what it was like last year”.
The Eagles wanted to move the game to nearby Johnston Park at West Wallsend but Northern NSW Football deemed that ground unsuitable for an NPL fixture.
That ground last night was disgraceful and should be ruled as unfit to play on. The amount of ball that bobbled above players knees was bordering on laughable.
Northern need to inspect the ground and make the same call that was made at Cahill Oval last year.
How do you deem West Wallsend as being unsuitable to hold an NPL fixture and then say that the mudpile at Edgeworth is up to standard.
I paid $10 to watch a good game of football that was spoilt by being played on a cow paddock

Double standards by nnswf, the edgy pitch makes Cahill oval look like Wembley , something needs to be done, people hand over their hard earned for this crap
Any other games yesty?
Heard Valo thumped Maitland 4-0 at Wet Hill
Valo go top. Shock or is the squad top notch
FT
Kurri Flogs 2
Jets Yoof 2
Jets 4-0 in 20s
Jets 5-1 in 18s
Both teams absolute shite really
Three way battle for the spoon between these two and Buds
How they going to play seven games on it on Saturday, should be a good pitch by the time first grade kick off with six games on before it
It makes Cahill oval look like Wembley
How long will Daniel McBreen get suspended for giving the ref the bird and telling him to eff off
He will get the mandatory 2 week suspension for 'referee abuse'
What exactly was it that got him so upset anyway??
It just looked like the ref called a foul for pushing/shirt pulling to the defending team for a corner.
Same thing the refs do 5 times a game and no one bats an eye over it let alone do enough to get even a yellow
A minute or so prior to the send off he blew up at the ref after a challenge. My guess is the subsequent free kick, for the shirt pull, tipped him over the edge.
Personally I'm not a big fan of sport being played on Anzac Day, what's people's thoughts about Adamstown & broadmeadow playing today
Idk, it's the same old argument isn't it?
Our veterans fought for our freedom. Part of that freedom is playing and participating in sport.
Imo, playing a game of football in good spirits is a better way to celebrate the day, opposed to getting drunk and fighting people (who also use the same argument of freedom).
If due respect is given, silence at 11:11, maybe a little presentation before first grade. No real issue with it.
Numbers do the talking. Decent crowd at the match. A few goals would have bn good but it was played in a good spirit overall.
