Early doors
Looks like Newcastle Croatia and Azzurri the 2 teams to beat.
Raymond Terraces first up loss to Newcastle Croatia doesn't look too bad only going down 4-2. But was there a story behind the forfeit on Sunday?
Cardiff had a good win over azzurri but results look a little patchy since, there was a mention of players missing??
Kurri, flogged by azzurri. Must have been missing players.
Medowie's result looked decent on weekend?
Believe Terrace had a few covid cases run through the squad so were unable to field enough for 2 teams
Jaliens gives me the horn
Been told that Raymond Terrace had quite a few out with COVID. Could only scrape together a side for Reserve Grade then just decided to call it quits on Saturday morning. Gave our boys a rest after Friday night though. Hopefully they don’t have it too bad
Cardiff definitely have had some decent players missing but probably most teams have. So we can't use that for any excuses, especially the last 2 games where numbers were decent. With 35 signed there is always players missing...
Azzurri and Newcastle Croatia impressive. Newcastle Croatia have recruited well and will take some effort to beat them when they have everyone on deck.

The team filled with players who find it too hard to challenge themselves at the level they are capable of but prefer to beat up on lesser opposition and make out like they're world beaters?

Judging by their recruitment I doubt sticking around in ZL3 is their ambition, from what I recall hearing they were told to start from the bottom since reforming which is fair. A fair majority of blokes running around in zl can play at whatever level they want the fact is work commitments and training multiple nights a week makes that decision a bit easier when choosing to still have a kick hence why most zl comps are fairly strong from what I have seen over the last few yrs that's my take on it anyways

Or maybe they just wanted to join a club who has ambition to go places and wanted to be apart of that.
Correct - from what I understand the club has big plans to move up through the grades and eventually Bring juniors in as well.
Yes they were told you have to start at the bottom.

Well buddy, newcastle Croatia had to start from the bottom, that’s how things work these days. They recruited good players to go up divisions, not to just sit in zone league 3. There aim is to go higher, and hopefully soon enough add juniors to there list, so if there gonna beat up on lesser opposition now , so be it, that’s the only way you gonna make it up to the higher divisions, isn’t that how it works, or am I wrong. 🇭🇷🇭🇷⚽️⚽️
As someone who will play against Newcastle this season, myself personally and I think all of my team mates welcome the challenge. If Newcastle is to be promoted this season you best believe we plan to make them earn it and push for promotion ourselves.
They all seem like pretty decent blokes that just want to play Football on the weekend, much like the rest of us. My only gripe is that I blew out my Hamstring in the first 20 minutes of the season against Hamilton so I missed the first game against Newcastle and will miss the next game.
All the best to the players and the club as a whole in this new chapter, enjoy the highs and hopefully we can deal you a few lows.
The joys of an actual football pyramid. Until NPL/a league..
