Go the sealords, Templeton is still thrashing them in I hear...
sealords are the 2nd best team in the grade for sure + they get
more supporters to their games than team wellington!!!
haha, makes it all the better when ya beat them twice in a
season.........
to be fair, Karori were all over us in game 2, they hit the post
and bar like 6 times and blasted it over for glory on 2 or 3
separate occasions. We gave them many a chance to win, but we came
thru and got out of jail somehow hahha
they a good unit, only conceeded something like 12 goals all seasonbungrightknee2007-06-25 11:50:51

Kia ora gents- good to see a discussion going about lower league
footie- the heart and soul of Capital Soccer.
Nice to see a couple of young teams adding a bit of spice to
the eighth- im talking about Stop out and Sealords, not Seatoun- a
bigger bunch of whingers you'd be hard pressed to find.
The Salmon have been in Div 8 for 6 years, after a three
season run from the 12th.
We are therefore the longest serving div 8 team and yes we
have hit a form slump but on our day we are competitive- We llok
fwd to meeting Stop Out at Trafalgar this weekend- weather
permitting
Check out our clubs website- we are one of the only clubs to
do regular match reports- all good fun:
Let us know your teams' history
Salmon07 - we Stop Out boys looking forward to this weekends game,
Trafalgar Park has to be one of the better grounds in the Hutt,
pitch is always in pretty good knick, nice intimate one-field park
etc, and is usually nice and sunny when we play there.
We had a good stoush with u Salmon boys in round 2 or 3 this season at Melrose (cool park which we had never played at previously). 3-2, but you guys did well to pull it back from 0-2 down to 2-2. I clearly remember that big burly guy smashing a header in from close range and no one was going to stop him.
Seatoun, who we played on Sat, I have to say (barring 3 or 4 players) are a bunch of cocks. The game got pretty ugly and verbal and some on field comments went a bit below the belt at times. But we came out 1-0, which wasnt bad for us considering it wasnt our day. But hey thats football.

I found out today the Sealords have a website.
or their match report here

Hey thanks for the heads up on the website- some great photos of
the Salmon vs Sealords at Velodrome.
Stop out- we have recently enlisted a referee who has moved
down to Wgtn form Auck, a friend of one of our team mates. He wants
to referee our home games to get back to match fitness before
getting back into it on a more serious level- Depending on how you
feel about it and if you don't have your own referee, should I see
if Barry is keen to referee this weekend?
He reffed us last week and is neutral and fair- Salmon's
honour
Im cool wit that, ul just have to run it past our skip im sure
he'll be sweet. We usually either 1) dont have enough players to
provide a ref for home games, 2) No one wants to or 3) "Dont know
to ref man"
So long as hes fair and balanced no prob
Salmon07 - Oh i tried out those websites, but the match reports dont go back all that far aye? I tried to go back to round 2 or 3 vs u boys but couldnt find it. That was one of the better games this season

Hey- thats cool- ask your skipper about the ref eh?
I can email you the match report- its too long to post
Or i'll just post highlights- whats your email?
Actually - its one of the shorter reports of the season so i'll
post it- rememebr this is entirely from our point of view- hope it
gets a larf:
Wellington United Salmon 2- Stop Out 3
Half time 0-1
Scorers- Craig Ireson, Nic Preddle
MOM- Clive Truman, mentions to Nic and Warrick
A classic Salmon performance, dominating the early exchanges, conceding two soft goals, clawing ourselves back in to the game and then caught on the counter when pushing for the three points. We also went from a squad of 14 to the bare 12 after two players pulled out, one from a twisted ankle and the other from a batch of bad beer- Cloughie was greener than Mike�s jumper and couldn�t even hold his pompoms on the sideline- not much of a cheerleader!
Our greedy striker had enough chances in the first five minutes to put the Stop Outs to bed but their keeper, poor shooting and the wood work kept us out.
A quick counter attack left Mike stranded in goal, and they had the lead despite us dominating the first half. Plenty of running from Clive Truman saw attack after attack coming from the right wing to no avail. So 1-0 at half time.
They scored soon after the break and we knew that we would have to dig deep to get back in it, and to our credit we did not resort to �route one� football, with Matt, Kahu, Steve, Vince and Adam H. all playing nice balls out from the back. Our first goal was set up by Nic, a knee over the top in the box and Craig pounced, turning the ball in off the keeper�s hand. Unconvincing but effective.
The equaliser was a stunner; great running from Clive earned a corner, which he then took himself with power and guile. Nic Preddle, the Brooklyn Express, steamed in with his head putting the ball, himself and two stunned mullets into the net. 2-2
The last 10 minutes saw the Salmon apply the pressure once again, chasing the points. We had enough chances to finish them off but their keeper saved from Craig, Phil shot over the bar from the top of the box and Matt found himself with time and space in the box only to mistake a Red shirt for Orange in the glare. Inevitably perhaps in the last two minutes Stop Out had one last break, a chip over the top, calls for offside from our defence, and a 1v1 situation that they did not waste.
Salmon was left a deflated fish- playing some great football, scoring goals and yet unable to finish off a floundering foe once again. Ah well, at least the sun shone, the game was clean and the beers were cold at the clubrooms afterwards.
G'day Salmon! Nice to see this thread getting some interest!
Would be great to hav a decent ref for this week's game if
your mate is keen to step up, we hav a fairly young team and most
are a bit shy when it comes to blowing the whistle....
Must say you guys are probly the fairest team we hav come
across this year so no probs there. See you've been struggling a
little so hope you wait one more week before you get back into top
form, we would love nothing more this season than to top the
Sealords( with their bloodthirsty fans and OTT goal
celebrations!!!)
its called PASSION lads!! hahah must have an OTT
celebration...gives ya something to talk about over your beer that
night! and what can i say about our fans...how fantastic are they??
We just found the blog today and we at Sealords fully
aprove...can see some amazing pre-game banter on here in the
future!
And how did you find our website??? Any comments from external
un-biased sources would be much appreciated...we created it for a
laugh and it seems to be working a treat with the supporters!
Anyway good to see we are getting positive feedback from our
fierce competitors and it goes likewise...had 2 bloody good games
with both salmon and stop out (apart from our results!) full
respect for both teams!
Salmon Vs Stop Out....GO THE SALMON!!!!
Id have to agree with Sealords#2 about OTT celebrations, theres
nothing wrong with getting a bit excited (and if u r the goal
scorer) when a goal is scored, especially if its scored in crucial
circumstances. Nabbed a goal few weeks back and was so pumped, in
the context of the game, that i swore out loud in anger at on hand
were few a family, mums pushing babies in prams, and their dirty
sweaty male husbands from another finished game etc. Didnt think it
went down to well with them but was fun all the same hahah!
Feverish found the websites (great work mate!), had a squiz at urs and the Salmon one, I was trying to find match reports on the Karori website but couldnt find the 2 vs Stop Out. Even if it is from the oppositions perspective!

Well done Sealord's!!! Great looking website, nice to see some action pics on there as well!
Must confess to being rather ENVIOUS of your band of
supporters, felt like we were playing far far away from home
that day at the raceway! Great to see that sort of interest in
local footy, its actually a bloody good bunch of teams in this
grade, only niggly games we've had were against Seatoun &
Seatoun....
Lookin 4ward to this week's action, highly anticipating a
hard-fought win for Stop Out and Sealord's & LH settling for
draws!
I agree with the call about Sealord supporters- they lively up the
place-
you gotta wonder though what else they could be doing
on a Saturday arvo? The Salmon are poorly supported mainly
because wives and partners are either looking after the bubbas
or couldn't care less- In Ten ears their will bea new wave of
Salmon to unleash upon the lower grades- As for Goal Celebrations-
their alright aren't they? You feel gutted when a team scores and
even worse when they go OTT afterwards but what are going to
do?
The Salmon have always talked about planning an orchestrated
manoevuere representing a Salmon's escape from a can (Would've done
so against Sealords but we didn't score) or a majestic run
upstream- Two seasons ago we had the Tawa Bears in Cap 8th and
when I scored Hamish our centre back would make a
clawing,grizzly like gesture at me which i would swim away from-
very gay i know but a bit of fun- whats the cheesiest or best goal
celebration you've seen in lower grade footie?
Sealord's website is pretty awesome, good layout etc.
Salmon vs. Sealords (battle of the fish?) how did that game go?
Dennis Ibrihim - We got a website dont we? I remember seeing it once and its pretty archaic, but the advantage of that is that if your living in the dark ages like me on dial up, then the pages load pretty quick! much like the Wellington Soccer website, mainly all text so loads quick.
Hahha Sealord's support, great work, wish we had a big support crew like that, it did feel like an 'away' game at Hutt Park Raceway few weeks back. They were a hostile crowd, kind of like playing on the high velt in S.A. hahha. We have a small but dedicated crew. bungrightknee2007-06-27 11:11:37

Salmon VS Sealords:
first game- round one we played on the Velodrome- gotta be one
of the worst grounds surely- a kiddies pitch, but that suited us
coz the Sealords were younger and faster so we could close them
down. They scored in the first half after our defender and keeper
colided. We then resorted to long ball cos our keeper could kick to
the six yard box, with abiut two minutes to go Mitch gave up the
ball in the box and we scored 1-1- they were unlucky but probably a
fair result.
Second game at Wilton was a washout- a complete bog- To be
fiar to Sealords they played much better in the conditions and
finished 90% of their chances- 4-0. I think we managed one shot on
target the whole game. In fact Mitch scored a nice goal after a
solo run so he got his revenge for round one.
This season has gone real quick with no cancelations- Last
year dragged on and we didn't even finish the round robin- We
have been real lucky with the weather
The other thing I hate about the Velodrome is the way one side of
the pitch is wet and the other is dry. One minute you've got
grip and everything is fine, the next you are doing the splits in
the mud.
I strained something there against Tuskan a couple of months ago and it's still not right.

Velodrome is a shocker- still you can almost shoot from anywhere on
the pitch
what sunday team do you play for?
Put it this way, I'll see you Sunday.
Trentham eh? Well sadly i'll miss that game- i'll be getting some
mid winter sun in Samoa
But i'd love to get some payback for last time- you boys
played well at Rongotai
Probably because I was on the sideline injured, you were missing a
few as well from memory.

Yep - www.stopout.org.nz
Extremely simple but does get fortnightly updates from some
kind soul, usually a match report for the 1st team and some general
club news is about it... anyone in our team into web design?
Um maybe- cannot remember- Maybe we should take this conversation
to the Sunday League thread eh?
The Salmon (Mid Table Div 8) have started a regular friendly fixutre against the Sunday Blazers (Toppish Sunday LEague) and the Salmon are consitently better.
The Stop Out boys will be in the dark- i actually think Sunday
league is at about the level of Division 8 actually- althopugh the
teams in Div 8 are pretty equal and their is abig gap between the
bottom and top teams in Sunday League

Anyone for smoked salmon on sat???
Easy Dennis! Salmon have heard it all before mate- but like that
mighty fish we swim best when we swim upstream- A cornered fish is
a dangerous animal! Forecast is for rain- slippery conditions that
will suit our oily skins
haha, love your spirit my slippery friend!!!
Trafalgar on a wet day turns into a complete bog so theres
gonna be a bit of mudwrestling goin on, lookin 4ward to a good ole
scrap and then a few brews back at the raceway.
Are you playin Salmon07?
Yeah mate i'll be in- I'm the captain
our teams looking a bit slim at the moment though-
I'll let the boys known theres an invite back to the
clubrooms
Excellent!
Also, if your referee is available then would love to have
him, if not then we should have sum1 who can do it, seeya down
there!
Sup boys, First post, nice to see a capital 8 community. Im the
captain of the frowned upon Seatoun Pirates. May i just say that
yes there a few dickheads in our team, me being one of them but as
a younger team we are dished our fair share of abuse. We are just
easily provoked. Stop out you saw what happened when that player in
your team decided to start bullsh*t with everyone on the field,
calling everyone round him 'gay'..... it rarks us up and the game
starts to go downhill. Surely we cant be as bad as the lower hutt
SG's i think it is, with thier coach big boi rigging entire
matches. As a ref he threatened to knock a player for back chat. he
then remarked 'welcome to the hutt mother f**kers'. I dont know but
those games id just rather not play.
anyway good to see whats going on here. Can we lay off seatoun a bit tho. All teams give it and recieve it. Would be cool to have impartial refs introduced to the grade. That would clean things up. Im sure our way over the top expensive fees shud pay for it

Fair call mate, how bout a truce?
I agree that every team has the potential to turn a bit ugly
at times, I guess some of our boys were still a bit rarked up from
our first encounter at the raceway when your number 10 was trying
to scrap the entire team and even offered to meet us in the carpark
afterwards haha....
All in all, its a pretty fair grade and I admit you guys are
no worse than the SG's and at least you're ref was fair and
decent.The SG's are not a happy bunch of players this year
considering they are used to winning by any means necessary and
find themselves struggling!
Good to be in a competitive grade tho where all the teams are
remarkably even and there really is no easy games, like saturday
some of our boys were expecting a walk in the park but you guys
gave as good as u got and a draw probly would have been a fairer
result!
Refs for Capital 8, sounds like you need UN Peacekeepers - must be
real fun playing in this under-rated league.
Its never dull chopper thats for sure! come have a game, you might
enjoy it.......
