Tough day for the Cats, got taught a few lessons today. Glad we don’t have to play on that field every week, too big for the unfit.
3rds: were under the pump in the first 20 and down 2-0. Jagged a goal back just before HT, but Uni played too good for us today.
Ressies: was 0-0 for about 65 mins, Uni finishing off some good chances and came home the better.
Firsts: conceded a goal right on the HT bunger, second half botched a few decent chances and had decent possession. Uni able to get a second on the counter to make it 2-0. A late surge from the cats after making it 2-1 but Uni did well to hold on.
Good results again txk your 3rds conceded yet ? Good backline ?Hope you boys aren't burbs stacking this early in the yearOriginally Posted by TXK
Correct mate thirds yet to concede. Pretty crazy game in first grade, a bit more open then we’d like. Otto adding a bit of flavour to the game with some interesting calls to say the least.Good results again txk your 3rds conceded yet ?

In all honesty, no stacking going on mate. Just a testament to depth we have in the squad this season. Adding to our First Grade depth has naturally seen a trickle down effect through the other grades. A couple of boys that have been performing well in Thirds were actually promoted to Reserves this weekend, as ressies have been hit with a couple of injuries. Good to see them step up and contribute to a win in a higher grade when given the opportunity.
Maryland Fletcher v Wallsend
Thirds: 0-0 Draw
Ressies: 2-1 Wallsend
Firsts: 3-1 Wallsend
1. With the -2 start, Cookers would have only managed a 1-1 draw. 0 points.
2. Suburbs didn't win but both teams scored. 0.5 points.
3. Azzurri won but didn't concede. 0.5 points
4. Uni only won by 2 but did receive more than 6 corners. 0.5 points
5. Maryland pulled off probably the biggest upset so far this year...can you call a draw an upset? 0 points.
Total = 1.5 points out of a possible 5. Poor.
Terrible tipping
NL v CH 0.5
Result was wrong but the fact that CH didn’t score I can safely say they struggled to score
Stockton v Suburbs 0
Result was wrong, can only assume no more than 3 yellows to Stocko but potential for .5 if there’s confirmation. Bit of a silly prediction in hind sight.
Jesmond v Azzuri .25
Result was right but was way off with score so not taking the full .5. Butch can you confirm whether the 8-1-1 formation was used?
Maryland v Wallsend 0
Result was wrong, great effort by Maryland, a point off Wallsend is a big coup.
WL v Uni 0
Result was wrong, was not a thriller. Goal to finish us off was scored in the last 5.
Total .75 (with potential to increase)
Very poor tipping on my behalf
#Make3rdsGreatAgain
I believe there was only one yellow for each team in this one.. Sorry mate..
Not at all, glad it was a good clean game. I might steer clear from these sorts of predictions in the future

Hey Lads,
Normally a ZPL poster, but a great Fan of the ZP1 forum.
Thought i'd give you all the chance to jump on and vote - https://linkto.run/p/TQDDKB88
Voting closes on Thursday night
There seems to be no consistency in this league besides Azzuri and cooks hill. 3rd and 4th are anyone’s at this point, VERY tight competition indeed.
What’s going on over at Westlakes and Suburbs?
It's very hard to tell what's going on in this league.
I'm putting it down to a lot of injuries to certain clubs & people going away throughout the year!
Azzurri & Cookers likely to finish 1 & 2 but if someone like Wallsend & Stockton can get their act together and show some consistency, who knows.
From what I've heard, West Lakes have had their injury concerns, as well as Suburbs. But I'm sure most clubs can say the same, Wallsend have had injuries to key players on a weekly basis, probably explains their up & down form.
Azzurri have a great chance to go unbeaten!!
Can confirm they played a 4-4-2, sorry mozAn interesting point for all of you staunch followers of Third Grade, the score was only 1-0 at half time... Azzurri coach must have delivered one hell of a team talk!
There's definitely going to be some twists and turns in the title race. Even Westlakes and Suburbs who are sitting last and second last have the potential to beat anyone on their day.
Just as interesting will be the battle to avoid relegation. Very hard to fathom clubs like Suburbs or Westlakes going down. Still a very long way to go, though.
Anyone brave enough to make a prediction this early on?

I heard that the coach told the boys of the little crippled boy sitting in hospital that wanted them to win that game. Rumour has it the coach crippled the boy himself to inspire the team.
3rds catch up tonight.
Jeso v WL - WL 3-0
- WL to score atleast 1 goal from a set piece
WL v Jeso
3rds 1-1
Res 1-0 Jeso
3rds
WL score first with a goal off a corner. Scrappy game, what you’d expect at Heaton. WL had a penalty saved in the first half and couldn’t take chances. Jeso stayed in it and was a pretty even contest and got a late goal back with 5 to go.
Ressies
Jeso scored in the first minute. Pretty even game with both teams having good chances but just not capitalising.
