Capital 14 (a or b)

One thing about the Velo, unlikely as parks stand weatherwise this week, but if you step on the entrance side and find it is nice and solid, don't assume the other side under the bank is...

i can confirm  that div 7 wgtn utd tce  DO have a set of yellow and red cards, at least the ref they used against us at melrose the other week had them and was quite happy to show the yellow coloured one to our C.B,oh how we LOL'd, whether or not it was reported  too capital soccer i don't know

Rain Rain go away, come back another day (when we are playing one of the top 4 sides)

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

We dont need ring ins, we have a squad of about 18.

You lucky bastards...haha. We shouldn't need ring-ins this week I believe, just in case Mana were hoping they could get their inevitable loss overturned.

Was your goal the one where a 1k wind would have blown it over the line?

Already cancelled for tomorrow

2 points??? you sure you didnt start that training early?

We dont win too many so the points earned for a win is a bit of an unknown for us but we do know you get nothing for a loss

Roll on next week! Slayers vs Mana at Upper Hutt!

Not to be a cheeky bugger, but when in the season does it become late enough to stop saving the pitches? It's not that I'm publicly bitching about not playing(in fact i enjoyed the sleep in), I just wondered what view Capital Wellington had on the issue and if there is a time in the season(any year) when they go 'ah f*ck it, we'll play anyway!'

Not really an option given that within two weeks of the season finishing the parks need to be turned around for Softball and Cricket (yes, there are other sports) and/or a maintenance period to get them ready for the next season.

Put on top of that the ad hoc pressure from, for example, on again/off again All Whites games , Nix trainings, Springbox tours, and Third Division Chinese Sunday League teams challinging Nix for charity and the increasing trend towards Summer Football (Sportzone!) and you start to see the pressure mounting.

"Capital Wellington" (do you mean Capital Football?) work across 6 Councils and need to balance all of that pressure and do there best to make sure games are played (some lower grade games probably should have gone ahead today -yes) and in my 8 nyears of playing in Div 8 we only had one season that fell short, by one game (05 i think?).

it can't be a nice position to be in, a sports loving grounds man with the weekend rolling around and the dark clouds looming.. contrary to some peoples opinion, the Parks staff also play and have kids who play and know what its like to be dissapointed on Sunday morning.

but good question Sealad- short answer is yes, they will get to apoint where they say bugger it. and no, this is not in the grounds mans best practice bible...

cheers mate, certainly enlightens things

ARRGGGH the bye again! we only got one game left to play to0! spose it prolongs the end of the season if we dont have this mini league idea been thrown about. no footy for 3 weeks not good!

The Karori-University result has been turned into a 2-0 win for Karori apparently.

Another quality post.

Not liking the look of this rain.....

I personally think its Slayers who are afraid of running, and they are the rain dancers...looking forward to tomorrow we have no Jim Orpe but I have no other cancellations yet.......depends on the temperature tomorrow morning I suppose

Running is to be avoided at all costs!

Gale force winds forecast....that will be a gentle summer breeze for Upper Hutters isnt it? last time we played at Awaikairangi we had gale force southerlies....Ball got blown across the goal line a couple of times from memory and whenever the ball was kicked in the air, it was if a hand picked it up and threw it across the sideline... Since we only had 7 players we spent our time kicking the ball away and making the Slayers run for it 

I purposely wiped the result from memory but thinking back the score line was 7-2 to the Slayers approximately

Goddammed weather! Cheers!

It's Onnnnn!!!!

Three - Nil, Three - Nil, great game of water polo, first clean sheet in years for the Slayers and my second goal in 6 seasons lol!!!!!!!!!!

7-3 to Uni at a mudfeast at Wilton. PLease God send me 11 players at one time!

4-2 Sealads over Eastbourne. Hard fought, chances both ways, I suppose we took ours a bit better.

Was that he hand ball one or the offside one?

You guys did well in that last 10 minutes, took advantage of our cockiness. The second and third goals came after I subbed off as well, never knew I was such an important player
