Long year for Valentine if their just scrapping past ZPL teams. Luck no relegation this year
I think you'll find Dudley would beat most New-FM teams and provide a decent challenge to the bottom half of NPL. They're a strong squad.
Up 4-1 and conceded a few late goals. Sure, Valo a weak and full of fresh blood, but they'll grow over time.
Half of the NEW-FM teams and probably 1-2 NPL teams the shouldn't be there, only there to make numbers because their facilities are nice.
Until we have true PRO/REL all the way from NPL to ZL3, we will never truly have competitive competitions in NPL/NEW-FM.

Hats off to Edgy
Have announced that entry to Wednesday nights FFA cup game against Valo will be free
But again Azzurri score low marks, they have announced that their FFA cup game v Lakes will have a $5 entry fee
Anyway that makes the decision easy
Off to Jack for a nights entertainment, couple of beers, bacon and egg roll, nice one Edgy
This is why I won't go to any NPL club charging an entry fee for FFA Cup games against non a-league club.
I'll happily spend way more than $5 at the bar/canteen to support the club rather then pay the $5 entry fee.
Just goes to show which clubs are looking for a cash grab rather than to showcase the football they have to offer really.
Well done to Weston and all clubs with free entry, hope it works for them and we all as football supporters go out and support those clubs
Like I said, couple of beers, a feed and watch some good soccer
Spirit of the cup

I for one will be going to watch the Terrace boys take on Adamstown can guarantee they will not be charging money for the game. ( not sure how they could if they wanted to with two entireties to the ground, 3 if if you come via boat).
A tip to anyone making that trip byo chair/ blanket and dress warm it gets rather cold out that way.
Half Time Terrace V Adamstown
0-1
Terrace had the better of the chances, Town caught Terrace napping of a throw and made them pay.
Any other scores?
Charlestown 3 def Lakes 1
Edgy 1 def Valentine
Olympic 2 def Weston 0
Buds were 3 nil up
Full Time Terrace V Adamstown
0-3
Great effort from the lads, quality in the final 3rd in the end was the difference
Good showing from Terrace, well done representing league one
Round 6 draw
