One of our better performances of the season beating Kotara 4-0 at Jesmond Park. Should have been more which is pleasing without our most dangerous attacking player. Could be mistaken but don't think our gk had a save to make. Real test will be tonight in lower grades as we have a dozen players unavailable.

The performance and points were much needed after being bent over @ Beresfield on Sunday. They really do deserve promotion in my opinion. Seem to always turn up hungry and have quality over most of the park and seem to be able to cover the couple of weaknesses they do have.

Only been there this year for the first time in years, but certainly wouldn't miss the Sunday drive to cramped sheds and postage stamp field that tapers off that badly it should be re-layed. I do enjoy the crowds "enthusiasm" though. May have been heightened on Sunday as it was an emotional day for them and suspect that may have brought in additional numbers. I suspect they revel in the above and wouldn't have it any other way.

Onto referees.... Felt for the young bloke on Sunday. He did his best and had what seemed like half of the Bero community on his back when the game got a tad fiery. Thought he did ok which I know wasn't the general consensus but ill stand alone. Otto (I think that's his name) did last night and is just about the best in and around our division. Really helps.

Good luck to Bero and GS in the run-in. I know how much promotion means to you both. Our aim is to see one of you in the semis which would mean we've been a success, albeit an inconsistent one.
