went up and watched this game and maitland are one of the best 19's teams ive seen, their formation was always solid and they played out from the back.Originally Posted by Zico
their number 8 played well and scored 2 brilliant individual goals.
belswans goal was a bomb and the keeper had no chance, but it was only a constalation goal.
Heard Toronto 3-1 over Adamstown
Wow long year for Toronto 1st grade after beating Adamstown 3-1?
Does that mean Adamstowns year will go in to 2014???
Was at Adamstown myself yesterday taking in the games and Toronto were a real surprise in 1st grade - although Adamstown had a man sent off after about 10 minutes Toronto keep the same game plan which looked like they were happy to sit in hit on the break. I must say that the back four of Toronto were solid and given they must have had a combined age of approx 150 years old Ha Ha I thought they handled a young fit Adamstown team very well and most probably deserved teh 3pts they left with.
Under 23s I thought Adamstown knocked teh ball about the pitch with ease and look like a handy outfit this year and in the 19s a late goal for Toronto was probably a bit lucky in securing a victory as a draw looked on reflection a fairer result.
Who was sent off?
Any word on Thornton and their new signings??
Think it was the new guy they signed as I did not recognise him from last year .. Scott Thomas
surely they have picked up a few players ???
have not heard around of anyone big but id imagine they would be better than last year and wanting to avoid the spoon
Nath Macca.
I see they didnt start real well down to cessnock in all 3 grades.
Cranky old Thomo. He will be missed however long he is suspended.

The first round review on the NNSW website is a disgrace. It seems to have been written by a child. One of the quotes from the Maitland v Belswans game..... 'With kick off at 2.30pm Maitland had a positive match to seal the win and kickstart their 2013 campaign' It also suggested that this game was a convincing win by Maitland...yes it was 2-0 but having veiwed the game it was by no means 'convincing'. The Cessnock v Thornton game was 1 sentence regarding the game and it only involved the scoreline. Other game 'reviews' were similar. Only a few coaches were called upon for their ponit of view (how does that work?) rant rant rant....what is the point of a review unless it has some quality detail? On a positve note the officials were quality....the assistant at maitland flagged for a Belswans player to be off-side after a maitland player headed back towards his own goal...
Think the writers took "enter generic line here" TOO literally!
Embarrassingly bad writing. This is my favourite from the write ups, if I had only read this paragraph I would certainly have made wrong assumptions:
"Having the home ground advantage saw Belmont struggle to get a point on the scoreboard in the first match, which left them behind, and empty handed at the conclusion of the game."
Toronto V Thornton
Belmont V Adamstown
