Round 5
Suns v Swansea
This should be a good game to very strong teams. Suns have got to click in attack soon but stopping goals has proven difficult. I got Suns clicking.
Suns 2-0
Cardiff v Kotara
Last years ‘premiers’ have found this season a whole lot tougher. Kotara with a good win last week. If Cardiff don’t get 3 points season over.
Cardiff 2-1
Mayfield v Bero
The green tigers yet to concede this year and Bero coming off the upset of the year.
Mayfield 2-0
Cooks Hill v Azzurri
Cooks Hill have been going ok but can’t stop letting in goals. Azzurri need the win and should be to good
Azzurri 3-1
Dudley v Warners Bay
The Bay have been the surprise packet of the year so far. Dudley played 120 min on Wednesday. They won’t want to drop 2 in a row.
Dudley 2-1
Late entry to the tipping comp (if still allowed)
Cardiff vs Kotara 1-2
Dudley vs Warners Bay 2-2
Cooks Hill vs Azzuri 1-4
Mayfield vs Bero 3-0
Suns vs Swansea 2-3
Suns vs Swansea
1st 4-1 (swans up 1-0 early, had golden opportunity to go 2-0 up from 3 yards. That miss sparked suns into life and it was one way traffic from there)
Res 5-1
3rds 1-0
Suns vs swans
Swans looked good early on knocked the ball around but just couldn’t take their chances. 2nd half suns come out strong and we’re clinical in front of goal, both keepers making some decent saves to.
4-1 probably isn’t a deserving score line of the game
Cooks Hill vs. Azzurri
First Grade 2-2
Reserves 1-0
Third Grade 1-0
First Grade played in good spirits and an entertaining watch from my view! Pity referee got conned by NF’s darlings into giving a genuinely ridiculous red card to Azzurri. Honestly hope the goalkeeper is okay as he fell very awkwardly, however it was lucky to be free kick let alone a red card. Cooks Hills players very poor attacking Azzurri player and surrounding the ref, as well as the far side linesman (a good 60 yards from the incident and also Cooks Hills coach btw) getting into the refs ear.
Funny you say that as I’ve spoken with a couple mates who play for cookers and they’ve said it was also a soft red card. What do you expect with these referees though? Cooks hill and hexham azzurri always seem to have decent encounters. also heard one of the coaches got sent off too, what’s the go there?
Mayfield v berro
Firsts 3-1 mayf
Readies 2-0 mayf
Thirds 2-1 mayf
On another day when both teams took their chances it could have been 9-3
Suns hit the post and then another one tipped onto the crossbar in first half. Suns some how passed it wide for the 6 yard line, missed a simple one on one from inside the box. There were numerous chances.
Suns keeper made some saves, but they would be expected to be made. Not sure if you were watching the same game or not.
