Capital 8 - most under-rated div......

i know!!! we were leading 1-0 with about 25 to go then Miramar stepped up, full credit to them. we felt like we dominated possession and territory but miramar came thru. And we didnt put away our chances.

Well that was our game, what happened to LH and Petone!!

Looks like we've handed the steering wheel back to you sealords!!!

Heres the full score card from yesterday:
CAPITAL 8:
Seatoun 1 Petone JJ's 0
Wgtn Un Salmon 1 SV Killer Bees 2
Lower Hutt SG's 3 Lower Hutt City 2 1
Stop Out 1 Miramar Rangers 2
Karori Sealords 3 U/Hutt Spackoes 2
JJ's did us no favours by getting beaten by Seatoun, SG's got up over LHC, which isn't surpising given how poorly they played against us last week, Sealords just edged out Spackoes. Our game against the Bee's was ashocker (from our point of view)- only one moment of brilliance, Bee's first goal inside 5 minutes was a screamer but Salmon played poorly.

Yeah this is a tight grade eh? can't wait til next week..........

Karori Sealords 3 U/Hutt Spackoes 2

How's this for drama: 1-all at half-time and through most of
second half. We are desperate to get a win to keep in touch with
Stop Out, who had "easy game" against Miramar. 9 mins remaining
and our star strikers combine to give us a 2-1 lead, followed by
OTT celebration. Then from Spackoes kick off they have a shot from
half-way to test our injured keeper. Ball bounces over top of
keeper and in, leaving Sealords devastated. Then from our kick-off,
ball gets run down right wing, cross comes in, wrong footed
half-volley from star striker Templeton bounces off inside of post
and in, followed by unbelievably OTT celebration. 3 goals in less
than 2 mins. 3-2.

Hahha great result for u Sealords, not great from our point of view but u cant dwell on other results, u just have to focus on ur own games.

Yea so tru about no easy games. i was saying to a few of our guys (pre Miramar game) that U CANT AFFORD TO GET COMPLACENT AGAINST ANY TEAM in this comp, and that showed for us and a couple of other top 4 teams this weekend.

Bit of a log jam has been created from the weekend, such an even comp really. Must be the salary cap

take nothing away from the so called "minnows" of this comp, big ups.

So can i get an assurance from Salmon07 that all teams will def play their remaining 3 games this season? (weather permitting) How do we find out if this will be the case?? would hate to think the 2 cancelled games dont get played...

Why do you think i can give assurance Bungright knee?

If this weather holds we may well be cancelled again this weekend- it would be a shame to end up like last year where many divs didn't even finish.

I did talk to an insider today and they seemed quite positive that wouldn't happen, fields are in relatively good nick and we are only three games away from a full season.

But don't quote me on that (like i quoted you...)

haha u seem to be an experienced campaigner, iv only had 2 half seasons of outdoor soccer before this season, so i would have a clue what the deal is with cancelled or postponed games..cheers

Usually what happens is postponed games are played at the end of the season, we normally have 2-3 postpnements a year. You start getting into problems when the postponed games are postponed like last year- but in my 8 seasons only once has aseason been shortened (last year)

Petone JJ's 3- Salmon 1

                      C'mon Seatoun and Sealords - get your results in on time eh?

we Stop Out boys are also watching closely after our 2-0 grind out at Lower Hutt...

How did your game go Karori?

Karori 1 - Seatoun 0

Killer Bee's had an outstanding day at the office and I had an OTT celebration after knocking home a hat-trick as i used to play at Nae Nae with the SG's. Our 4th goal was an absolute stunner from our centre back hitting a volley from well outside the area. We probably could've scored 7 or 8, but victory is sweet. Top 2 spots would seem to be sewn up unless there is some big upsets in the next couple of weeks.

I don't think anything is finalised yet corndog! still a few upsets to come in the last 2 rounds for sure, this grade has been the most even i've ever played in....

Killer bees 2 lower hutt 1.

Salmon do Sealords a big  favour:

5-2! That must go close to your biggest win of the season? And a win over Stop Out - something we couldn't achieve. We'd like to get another shot at Stop Out in the post-season friendlies :)

Still a 3 team contest for 2nd and promotion. Pity for the fast-finishing Killer Bees that they must face a buoyant Sealords at THE CAGE (Wilton) next weekend. :) Good luck spoiling that party boys :)

Should be a great game next week. KBees only lost 1 game in the last 8 and versus the great defense of the sealords. Make sure you boys have your party on Friday for winning the league.

actually our biggest win of the season was a 6-2 thumping of Killer Bees at Delaney- Remember that one Corn Dog {hehe}

One game left and they cancel. F***ing unbelievable. 

great conditions for a game too-

I'd be gutted if we don't play next week

good luck to the StopOut boys for tomorrow.  Be good to see you guys up a grade aswell

Nah- the Stop Out boys were good fun- plus they let us beat them at Trafalgar- i hope they stay put

I would just like to say we at sealords had a great season playing amongst everyone - I doubt we will encounter such sporting teams in any other grade (certainly didnt in capital 13)

Sorry to see the comment about cap13. Certyainly we tried to be sporting when losing against Sealords last year. We put up our best performance we could against clerarly superior opposition (at Adventure Park). I hope Porirua City Mana not included in this putdown?

nah mate it was only about 4 or 5 teams last year..Island Bay Vauxhalls being top of that list

Kia ora koutou,

thanks for a great season- everyone in our clu commented on how close div 8 was- really competitive
and apart from 1-2 games, really fair and good natured

Good luck to Sealords and Stop Out- i'll have to start a new post next season for Div 8-

Last comments on div 13- Vauxhalls were in Div 8 for years and they were a bunch of C*nts-  a dangerous team to play-

do yourself a favour and boycott them or at least report them (again) to Capital Football

Keep up the footie over Summer, Twilight Summer Soccer is great fun, park soccer with mates is better, plus of course theres the Nix.

Stay tuned to YF for all the news

Ka kite kids!
