Mosgiel 2 - 2 Queenstown
Caversham 1 - 1 University
Northern 2 GI 0

Chatham Cup 28th June Tech v Uni a cup game replaces the league game set for that day between them.
What happened to the mid-week games scheduled for CC this year? Did FS realise they don't have anywhere to play at night? Knock knock anyone home?

Chatham Cup never played outside NZF set dates so no night games but long weekend Mondays such as Queens Birthday have day games.

how are Northern not last
Somethings not quite right here, either the bloke on the right has bigger man boobs than Malc or...
Looks like Malcy enjoyed that wee tussle
Gannon Effect strikes again. This has to be a joke surely. I was of the understanding woman need a special dispensation to play in Men's league? In that case what is stopping Andrew Douglas from lacing up his boots on a Sunday for the Swans?
Scott would have a decent shot at getting a start for Roslyn womens
Tracey makes the rules down here now days. Love to see the FIFA law. That's what we go by down under isn't it?
Footballsouth was informed before game about this, it is not the first club let alone game in which this has happen. There is no fifa law saying Women can not take part in the league. Heard she also scored the goal, how the Onions have fallen!!

Tony Martin today is announced as Assistant Coach to Mike Fridge for the next ASB Premiership Season.

The old dream team reunited.
Is there anything preventing males from participating in the Woman's comp? It's a dangerous precedent and is more about ensuring the integrity of the league; not whether football south need another opportunity to show a complete lack of judgement. If we have some extrodinary female talent, evidenced by involvement in the national team, then I would be all for a special dispensation. However this would not include simply playing a woman due to lack of numbers. This is just another example of football south and a certain member of that organisation exercising poor judgement and a lack of insight. Something Dunedin clubs should not put up with. It's a shambles in my opinion.
Can Cavvy get back to winning ways this weekend? So disappointing against Tech and now they have to front up to a rampant Mosgiel side. Who scored the goals for Mosgiel? it wasn't mentioned in the paper if I recall correctly.
Still backing Cavvy though, 4-3 in a thriller.
As for Football South being a shambles....that is not anything new. Tends to happen when the people running the game don't really understand it....

Dunn x 3, Coldicott x 3, can't remember the others.

Tim with a hatrick in his last game, Nice send off then. Good to hear the Wolfman is back amongst the goals.

Could be she is a better player than the over weight blobs in the other teams.
I believe Uni did the smart thing, they went to Footballsouth made sure it was ok for the girl to play, would rather have that than Uni have to not put out a full team, smart move by FS in my books. We all go out there for the love of footy not the love of getting three point because the other side cant field a team.

Tell me Ref Ex how would you feel if you went through a female (I respect the fact that you probably wouldn't know the feeling both on and off the field) and she came off well 2nd best. It's not something id wish and to be put in that position by FS is irresponsible. I'm not saying Uni didn't go about it in the right way; I am saying, yet again this is another example of FS exercising poor judgement, lacking in understanding of the game, insight, and an appreciation of the consequences of such a decision (again something I wouldn't expect you to know much about); this is something all to familiar over the last few years down here.
Where this hate coming from Kennedy chill out bud, if she was willing to play thats her choice so all I say to that is deal with it sunny. I dont believe the male can play in Womens league under the fifa rules but as said before nothing in fifa about woman in male league. Dont see what the big deal is here, funny to hear she scored the goal as well.
What would Wikipedia know I guess. Tracey and her puppets are idiots. They make their own rules.
Long time reader first time poster.
I find it poor from University having to field a woman in a men's second division game. But give her credit, she was bagged a goal and from what I hear it was a good one to. If she's willing to play men's football and university are willing to field her then best of luck to her. I would be playing against her as I would any other player on that pitch, tough and aggressive with the odd studs up. Obviously you wouldn't have a men's grade player playing in the women's competition so I do understand why people are upset how they can play.
Seriously if a women has scored in a Fletchers Cup game what does it tell you about the standard of that league? Sorry females of the game.
In league news...
The mighty trains win streak has come to a holt. All credit to Tim Horners boys they were playing some good football but have stumbled up against a strong Dunedin Tech side who are gaining some momentum now after a slow start. Once again it looks like it will be a two horse race between Caversham and Dunedin Technical with University in the shadows but once again will bow out.
With Southern United just around the corner, who are some names that are in contention from Dunedin clubs and even out of town?
I will get the ball rolling -
Regan Coldicott (if fit)
Morgan Day - seems to have lost his touch in the last couple of seasons
Seamus Ryder - if he's not busy brushing his hair
Peter Overmire
Thomas Jackson - post ban I'm guessing he will be fired up
Matt Joy
Taylor McCormack
Sam Collier ?
Brent Clifford ?
Batty
Connor Joy Overmire Ferguson
Day Ryder
???? ????
Coldicott
Jackson

University of Otago handing out PhD's in Bullshark these days?
The Techs [DT & CT] to battle out for Chatham Cup semi final spot in Dunedin on the 26th July.
Another catch up game for DT, could be another Dunedin Tech v Roslyn as the last game of the season with the title on the line.
Can DT go unbeaten for the rest of the season in league and cup.
A big ask but some donkeys have won the Grand National just by getting over the next fence, so one game at a time.
Remember no one gives a toss later on how you win just that you did.
