    Unlike other clubs Weston doesn't request a deposit to secure a place, their word is good enough. While obviously other's word can't be relied upon.

    Hence why you should get a deposit, because 90% of local footballers theyre word is not enough which is a shame. Especially at that age.

    Azzuri information night, looked like books were full or near full for all three grades, and yes Goody was there and looked fine.

    Makes a mockery of the "Elite" nature of NPL, when All Age Div ZZZ will get all their games played (no disrespect to any ZZZ player intended), but the so-called elite footballers could easily lose several games due to the weather. Not good enough!!! I thought the region's best footballers should get more football, not less of it.

    dammed if you do, dammed if you don't, try and get a deposit and people criticise you for trying to pay last years bills, don't get a deposit and kids accept your position but also others as well.
    CCB had kid accept with no deposit, then kid went to edgy...............but hey happens for a reason, maybe replacement kid will be better option. Time will tell

    Feel for Westy............but unfortunately people's word isn't what it used to be...........

    Truth is, a lot of last years A's trialled at NPL clubs this year, Cardiff, Jaffa's, Edgy even Maitland to name a few..........whilst there might be a few exceptions the vast majority did not succeed with these trials.

    Perhaps it means more to the parents and there ego's or maybe helps them to subconciously justify the rediculous costs.

    Protecting the grass on the field more the prerogative than actually playing the game these days??

    Really no reason for you to add this.

    Ohh yes there is

    Most of the local clubs have shit drainage and one of the exceptions to this is at Southy.

    There was a bad wet spell at the start of the NPL semis yet they could get on at Southy thanks to the great work of FR

    You may think I am being sarcastic but you are dead wrong.

    FR is a top bloke and deserves great praise for his work at Southy and seeing as most of you ****s like putting shit on him I will be sticking up for him

    FR

    settle down lads, the main reason from the clubs was time constraints, its extremely difficult to organise 4 washed out fixtures, also there is a big chance that if the youth is washed out then the 3 senior grades are too, this then becomes 7 games to organise with 3 senior grades a priority, clubs have decided to maintain the 2014 regulations with all clubs agreeing to do there best to re organise wash outs

    Understand this in first round washouts. IMO teams/clubs should be able to challenge a double points game if they are willing to provide a field.

    Team A's field is washed out. Team A says either yes, we can reschedule for this date or no we are unable to reschedule. Team B then either agrees to double points/or whatever they do with 2nd round washouts or proposes a date/venue where match can be played. Then it is up to Team A to give due cause for being unable to play at new venue, play the game or forfeit.

    Unless you are Lambton U17 2014 who made the semis without CCB the chance to play the last round against them.

    Magic, Jaffas and Adamstown all spending money over summer to improve drainage. From what I know Magic is spending the most.

    How much is Jaffas and Adamstown contributing really? Wake up people... NCC is paying for it all and doing the work... Check section 94 (or what ever it is developer contributions) over $200K is allocated to Adamstown Oval nearly every year.... How many Jaffas and Adamstown committee members and volunteers were digging trenches or gluing pipes?...

    Magic getting 50% paid from AFC Fund... Still out of pocket over $35K
