That 3rds score is correct i think (didnt see it all).Originally Posted by Nelson Bay Road
And since there seems to be an element of 'the dark horse' to this Nelsons Bay first grade side - illl fill in a couple of gaps.
Coming up against them - be prepared for a physically demanding match. They play an old brand of football that relies on muscles and strength on the ball, and can be dangerous with the deep long ball into the area (something that will not be a problem for suburbs, with goliath at the back).
Ive read previously that theyve had success with wide, overlapping players. Could have just been Wallsend defensive efforts, but this didnt seem the case today. Most attacking chances came, as said before, from long balls to back stick to the big men up front who will look to angle their efforts back across the goal.
I think the biggest point though - is prepare to be kicked and thumped around. Speed and fitness will be your two main assets.
