Capital 2

I meant to say dreamers vs island bay this weekend a big game. If Island Bay win than they'll probably win capital 2

You are allowed 2 teams in Cap3 as Lower Hutt currently do and other clubs have in the past. I'm pretty sure you are also allowed 2 teams in Cap2 but i could be wrong. I think Cap1/Cap2 is the cut-off for the rules changing

You are allowed 2 teams in Capital 2.

could be interesting if Island Bay finish 2nd and Dreamers finish first. Obviously the dreamers could automatically be promoted to Capital 1 but Island Bay would have to play the 2nd from the bottom team in Cap 1 which could be any number of teams atm. That'd be interesting

good on the wharfies taking down the bay. I heard Island Bay's keaper had a brain explosion in one of the free kicks?

tawa were beating seatoun when i left at half time

I got to Shark Park number 3 a bit late - and missed DKP22 getting chipped from 40yds by Brodie Wilson. Any comments Granville?? The Dreamers were superb in the shocking conditions.

Well played Brodie.

Yeah - quality save from that penalty Toffeeman.

Wow that pitch you guys were playing on sure looked a bog in the second half. BNU could have won if they'd scored the pen and that second goal had been brought back for offside!

Funny how everyone thought that was offside,you will need to have a chat with that big defender of brooklyn's as the diagonal run away from the defender in Marists own half kept him on side. Seen worse.

The ref even admitted it was afterwards - so enough sniping

Yep, Hard luck BNU, both games vs Marist this season, we've had the lions share of good fortune, and in both I think you've deserved to come away with a point.

Tawa climbing the table after a poor start to the season.  Good to see.  We still have to play Waterside, Marist and Island Bay (twice) so hopefully we can take points off some of them to make things even more interesting at the top!

Marist vs Seatoun tomorrow for first time this season..should be interesting...go the Greeks and the Mar...

Good Luck the toun hopefully they can pick up some points and Brady Matt and Lozza play well screw da greekos diamonds are forever.

Haha looks like George is going to have to give another one of his inspirational speeches in the club rooms at shark park on tuesday. Looks as though the Bays dreams of promotions are walking away.

Was an interesting game at endeavour park (Tawa's new home ground?).  First it sounded like Island Bay didn't want to play the game, possibly feeling the pitch was a good leveller.

Tawa then took the lead and then had a goal dissallowed for offside.  A dodgy call to say the least.  Although I think it would be fair to say the ref was poor for both teams. Pretzel2008-07-21 10:13:02

Watched some the Marist vs Seatoun match, after our match was called off. Marist were 3-1 up when I showed and though both teams had a few opportunities, the pitch looked absolutely awful.

Seatoun scored a late goal, and the most interesting moment of the game as the Marist goalkeeper chased after one of the Seatoun players accusing him of holding him back at the corner. A lot of handbags at 10 paces and the ref blew for full time.

Any comments on the incident Hubminator? Your keeper not learning bad habits from the 1st team keeper?

Given the skills and abilities of the players in most of the leagues, if the ref blew every single throw-in that wasn't 100% technically correct and from the exact point from where the ball left the field of play, we'd have games that are 85mins throw-ins and 5 mins football.

The teams are there to play football - not listen to the ref blow his whistle. Given that a thrown-in is just a way to restart the game, there needs to be more focus on the other causes of contention.

aussie rules style.

You just fancy the keeper chucking it over half way off one arm...

WTF happended there?

First post all season from the Greeks!

Tawa got lucky against you?  Thats an interesting opinion Blocker.  The way I remember, you guys got a dodgy pen and we were lucky not to get a few more.  Your keeper made a few good saves!

Cant see Upper Hutt finishing 2nd to last as we have hit some form with 2 wins on the trot.  And with Miramar and BNU still to play again, Im hoping for another 2 wins at least.
