Furkan Kokcu was the 9. He's at the Ole academy. A lot of standouts in the Falcons team today, thought Furkan, Ryan Stewart and Taine Swete were great in midfield but Fox Slotemaker at the back has been the real standout so far this season.

Two players in a different league for Nelson yesterday.  The other curly headed CB - Josh Sansom (very calm, distributed superbly and consistantly, and shut down everything coming his way).  The little right back, who got subbed late in the game was awesome too - looked to play, receive etc all game.

Those two, best players on the park I'd reckon.

I think the right back might have been Josh Moffat, if so, he must be very young.

Cheers Luis - It was one of those heartening days when you feel football in NZ is moving forward nicely.   Pat on the back to both Canty and Nelson coaches and their players for their positive, considered approach to the game we love.   Both south island teams too!!!

Interesting that Auckland United and Nelson Marlborough are both at the top of their conferences (Well Auckland United is in second) - two areas most likely to be included if the ASB Premiership expanded.

I don't think that's a coincidence where Nelson's concerned :)

Hi does anyone know the name of the young lad that came on at left back for WaiBop against Waitakere. 

Absolutely suberb, pace, skill and maturity beyond his years to come on like that in a tough game. Had Stansfield and Al-Shamsi under wraps.

Was it this guy? (Enzo's photos may help you):

Yes the most important word in above is "if". Alot of talks going on around ASB Premiership switching to a 21 game season. If this is the case cannot see any increase from eight.

Liam Williams, 15 years of age. Watched him yesterday knew he was young but not that young. Very talented lad. Extremely athletic

Also the boy on the wing Wade Molony looked good for Waibop.


Molony played for Waikato FC last year, he's always a threat out on the wing. Will have to keep an eye on Williams.

10 man Falcons win 3-2 over Southern United. Down 2-0 at half time, Ryan Stewart and subs Matt Tod-Smith and Joshua Lis scored in the second half. Omar was red carded for striking an opposition player ..will be suspended for next week. Very very poor first half from the Falcons, hard to think they were the same team that played so well against Canterbury on Thursday.

Tee Dubs 0-1 Heartland (not YoungHeart). Interesting...

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

From what ive seen of Omar he hasnt lived up to the hype.. No doubt he is gifted but his decision making is terrible! He also is very right footed! Any decent CB could mark him out of the game

Player rotation - Thursday's TW youth team would have run away with this game. But rotation got the better of them and as happened Heartland's 1 goal was enough.

Correct. If it's down as a VC that's three weeks min.

Oops sorry quite right. They played ThunderHorse Wairarapa or whatever their stupid franchise name is.

*gross generalisation alert*

Rural superstars rarely live up to their rural hype. The smaller population centres churn out really decent flat track bullies, who tend to get found out.

"rural Superstars"  what a cheeky f*cker Smithy! Against his peers from those towering urban centres of Welli and Chch Omar ripped it up.  He's a young, interesting, talented player - he might progress, he might not.  Where he's from at this stage of his career has f*k all to with it one would have imagined....

I think it has quite a lot to do with it actually. I haven't watched any youth league, and have never seen this kid play, so I'm speaking generally. But, in my experience players from the provinces get a reputation for being devastating playing against a much lower standard of player.

Looks like you struck a nerve..


I guess same could be said about Gagame Feni. Absolutely devastating player at NZ Secondary School levels, and at Mainland Premier League level but just couldn't push on at ASB Premiership. The problem with Omar seems to be his attitude, but he is clearly one of the most exciting attacking players in the Southern Conference and in a team that is like seven or eight points clear at the top of the table.

Yep, all indications are that he has ability I agree. Be good to see him playing Central League to actually test his mettle.
