2-1 loss.  Closer than I expected.  Didn't look particularly threatening in front of goal but held their own over the rest of the park.  First goal conceded was both offside and a defensive howler.  A draw wouldn't have been an unfair result but Suburbs probably shaded it just.

Agree with News. I thought the Weenix Midfield competed pretty well on the whole. What a STELLAR day, so enjoyable watching football at DaveyF in perfect conditions.

Sunshine, blue skies, great BBQ, & good football. The only downers were that the Weenix didn't get a result & the F Bomb-a-thon.

Here's my bit on the game

and some photos

This is the offside call from when Rogerson's goal was ruled out for offside. Looks marginally offside to me.

Yes thats the one. "ball played by a defender to a player in offside position" isn't the law thats applied here, it's a deliberate save by the goalkeeper which means player needed to be onside when initial ball was crossed/shot in.

Offside flag only goes up once an offence has been comitted, i.e. Rogerson touched the ball, which will be why flag didnt go up when the shot was made.

Who was the nix scorer... some 15 year old kid? Promising if correct to have a young kid playing at such a high level

Willem Ebbinge

It was Max Mata's goal ruled offside. 

Very impressive win for the Phoenix U20s.

Fair dues. Well done Weenix. You guys are growing up fast. Older players talking smack won't phase you in the future. Good practice for higher honours.

Saw both the Team Wellington v Phoenix derby games this weekend (SSP & Youth league)

Very tidy

Their is NIX Football in Wgtn this weekend as WeeNix v A-League pretenders

Back to #DFPark BBQ scales $$$.

Saw the highlights from the game against Canterbury. Down to 9 men after two players sent off and lost easily in the end. The goal was fantastic team work though. The goalie basically got baited by the Canterbury player into getting sent off.

Youngster.  He'll learn.  By the end they weredown to the clubs 5th choice keeper, had lost their captain and had half a side of NYL U-17s.

Shame about the sending offs but competitive until then despite being well under  strength.

Keeper was Youth team's Keegan Smith. I saw him in the game where the Peeweenix beat Teedubs 5-1 and he was gutted that they scored 1. Aaron Mcdonald scored a great goal and there wasn't much he could do about it but he was still pissed - good to see. 

he was baited, think he will call it a learning experience

Highlights didn't really do justice to the young Phoenix team. They played some brilliant football early on but sending off changed all that. The two yellows for the Phoenix right back were amongst the softest I've seen. If the ref had been consistent game would probably have ended with multiple reds for both sides. Highlight for me was Joe Bell's performance in midfield. Made Clapham look pretty average at times. And just for the record I was at game as a Canterbury supporter.

WeeNix have a bunch of first team players playing for them this weekend. Rufer, Ridenton, Italiano and two others yet to be confirmed (probably Fox and Lowry/Litfin). Going to be a cracker of a game against ACFC.

Win today?

Twitter suggests a lack of class from some of the opposition.  Anyone go?

First clean sheet since 9 November 2014! 33 games ago. 

Cracking goal from Logan. FFS.

Wonderful pass from Singh. FFS.

Well done WeeNix. FFS.

It was a lovely slip pass by Singh... would love to see him get a cameo this year at some stage.

Strong lineup vs Hamilton Wanderers today.

Watching the game while I study.

Rogerson is good. Like, really fudgeing good. He's the best player on the pitch by a long, long way. He needs a decent crack at the first XI cos he really could be something special.

Was impressed by their passing and interplay... the "kids" seem to be handling the physicality really well.

Judging by the highlights, the WeeNix are an epic counter-attacking side.

I thought so to, he was ment to be out flr six months but only ended up being foir which is great.
