Does this mean NNSW had pre booked/blocked out some fields with anticipation of some catch ups needing to be played this week?
Few other leagues said they had no availability when enquiries were made a few weeks ago. So seems NNSW ahead of the 8 ball here.
Kudos.
Soft spot for Southy so hoping they can get some results.
Congrats to Kahibah too!
I heard they have moved JDL games away from the facility and extended matchdays.
Thought it was too good to be true.
I guess credit where it’s due for getting those games played.
They cop some shit but hats off in this case
Q. Are the games tonight starting where they left off?
I know westy did. Ended 2-1 same score as it ?started?
Cessnock 2-0 over Thornton. Southy back on the bottom.
This comp just keeps giving at both ends... yeah
With that win, Cessnock are essentially safe now... and what a finish to the league this is. Let me spell out the last matchday for you...
ALL MATCHES AT SPEERS POINTS ON SATURDAY
Kahibah vs Cessnock, 11am
Doesn't matter about the result. Kahibah are already promoted and Cessnock will survive relegation on GD
Singleton vs South Cardiff, 1pm
If Singleton win, Southy are relegated. If Southy win, Singleton could potentially miss playoffs if Westy/Dudley draw.
Thornton vs Wallsend, 1pm
If Southy beat Singo, one of Thornton and Wallsend are going to Zone League. Wallsend need nothing less than a win.
Lake Mac vs Toronto, 3pm
Pretty much a nothing game. Toronto will finish 2nd no matter what, and it is highly unlikely Lake Mac will make playoffs or get relegated... But both are technically still possible...
West Wallsend vs Dudley Redhead, 3pm
Quite literally a battle for the playoffs. Winner makes finals, loser has to wait another year.
1. Kahibah | 44pts | +26
2. Toronto | 37pts | +28
3. Singleton | 22pts | +3
4. Westy | 22pts | +2
5. Dudley | 22pts | -7
6. Cessnock | 19pts | -5
7. Lake Mac | 19pts | -6
8. Thornton | 19pts | -11
9. Wallsend | 18pts | -12
10. Southy | 17pts | -18
One of northerns better ideas in recent times to bring back promotion and relegation. An exciting weekend ahead
Then they go and remove the bloke from the board that got promotion and relegation reinstated.
NNSW one step forward two steps backward.
The previous board had already rubber stamped promotion/relegation its not something the new board should be hanging their hat on. The format was formed under their tenure no doubt and although it is very good it still my opinion needs a review and a few changes to make it even better.
The whole no standard final series for 2nd division is not right in my opinion and I said this last year when Belswans won. Premier League etc arguement's a side Australian sport is built around the Grand Final being the pinnacle of just about every team sport. Take last year for example Belswans won with 2-3 games to go and virtually had nothing to play for potentially affecting the integrity of the competition in 1sts and reserve grade then sat back and watched other teams play out a final series in their comp as well as every other comp in the area. Then you have the farcical trophy presentation/celebration to the Adamstown players at the end of the promotion game while Toronto were not acknowledged at all at the presentation. No blame to Adamstown they had every right to celebrate but it just didn't pass the pub test for me, it just wasn't right they run 11th in their competition they had every right to celebrate but be handed a trophy and medals. But, yes the game was exciting.
Like everyone that has a whinge you should have a solution.
Mine is a small change to what is a brilliant initiative to our game. 2 teams up and 2 teams down. 1st and 2nd of 2nd division automatically promoted to NPL and the 2nd Division has a regular final series .
The 12th team in NPL still automatically relegated then the 10th and 11th team do a one off relegation game to keep the excitement in week 1 of the finals series maybe on the Friday night, winner is safe loser gets relegated. No trophy presentation just one huge celebration for the winning team knowing they are safe.
This will keep the bottom of the table in NPL even more alive then it already is now, will also allow NNSW to not have to align the 2 competitions to end on the same weekend which must be a logistical nightmare especially with the wet weather we have experienced in the past few seasons.
Promotion and relegation has been awesome but in my opinion could be even better.
Whatever happens, can someone at Northern turn the score boards on & operate them this week?
With Peter Haynes and the grounds manager on a fully paid junket in Europe to find the next type of synthetic turf for speers point I?m not sure who?s turning the score board on, I know Bentley isn?t up to it
What a waste of money and shonky Peter would know better. Any info on product can be had over a zoom call.
If Southy Lose or draw Wallsend safe regardless. Plenty of cases for a few to fall to 2nd last
Thanks Red I wonder if clubs knew about this
I was told part of it was funded by the synthetic turf suppliers but I?m not sure of the percentage or if true
I agree, even if the trip was paid for by the suppliers I find it pointless and a waste of time, like you said most information required is at your finger tips nowadays.
Fingertips and Zoom won?t cut it for assessing the suitability of a synthetic pitch FR.
The CEO could play a bit back in the day and knew where the goal was. He?s obviously just dusted the Copa?s off and decided to test it out first hand - fair play to him.
