Stocko v Merewether
Ressies 1-2: Merewether took their chances, we didn't. 1 being an own goal as he ran back to clear off the line after initial great save, not sure if the player taking the first shot was offside? 2nd goal wS straight after half time, 1 on 1 breakaway and slotted calmly. Stocko had much of the possession and running but couldn't get it in the back of the net. The goal we did score was a bit of a laugh as the merewether gk let a tame drive roll straight into his bottom corner from the 18.
Firsts 5-2 Stocko out flying 2 goals early including an absolute pearler, game went I to a lull with Stocko missing plenty of good chances and Merewether slotting one away. Merewether captain missed a sitter at the back stick then tried to claim a handball on the GK using his elbow to stop the ball.... Stocko then clicked Into gear again and put away 3 more goals including Merewether own goal which included the GK punching the ball in... Good result for 1sts and although result wasn't there for ressies the performance was pleasing

ressy's uni 6-2 medowie
firsts uni 6-0 medowie

Not to sure how many Medowie folk are on here, but on behalf of uni would like to congratulate them on playing both grades with 14 players, a massive effort on a heavy pitch. They easily could have forfeited first grade, but full credit to them, got the ball on the deck and tried to play even in the second half of firsts.

I wonder what happened to all their players? I can remember hearing at the start of the season they had a heap of players possibly turning some away. Possibly just a one off

[hamsull4]

From what i heard yesterday, likely a one off which is good

Correction for 1st grade scoreline

You guys did come out firing and played some good football in firsts - utilised the tall forwards well. Your guys also missed a couple of easier sitters too and we were lucky not to concede more in the end. The keeper saved the initial sitter from the corner of the six yard box then the man on the post who blocked the second shot was the one the appeals were against - always a hard one to call when the ball gets whacked at someone from a close distance anyway.

Was quite frustrating that the refs were taking over 5-10 seconds regularly to decide and signal all the close corner/goal kick/throw in decisions. Even if it's wrong it should at least be done fairly quickly to allow the game to keep flowing a bit better.

[The Dreaded Keeper]

Sounds like it was all happening at Plattsy. Any neutrals there that care to give a wrap up?

[Bat_Country]

The Mussy - Charlie game was quite pleasant to watch. I think people were expecting some bad blood but they were both decent games.
The referee made some interesting calls that confused both teams. He managed to forget telling an injured Charlie player that he was free to return to play and then there was the moment he forgot about a 1st half sub and was questioning the Mussy coach as to why he wasn't told about their halftime sub which didn't actually exist.
All in all though, top show from everyone.

Pretty scrappy game really. The wind didn't help either team play football.
Terrace definately had the edge pushing forward through lez.
He fired one into the top corner a bit before half time.
Nothing much happened all second half apart from terrace missing a few chances.
Plattsy looked alright for the brief periods where they got the ball on the deck.

As for the send off.
The sub for plattsy came on with not long to go.
Had a yellow card early for a 50/50 contest in my opinion.
Just before full time he lashed out and kicked a terrace player who was on the ground as he ran past.
Definately a straight red but neither ref had a great view. In the end a second yellow and off anyway with a spray from the terrace faithful haha
