thanks for info on Naenae and Petone

 

Lower Hutt are a young side, can be quick and deadly but their keeper was ropey last year.

Bears are always tough-Bear VS Salmon -animal Kingdom derby always gets a laugh

Marist Skins were a very tough side last year- Chuggers had a couple of psycho chickens in their squad, hope those guys have laid off the P over Summer, but they were good guys in the Masters Torunie last year.

 

Salmon are the Salmon- we capitulate to poor sides and seem to do well against better sides-average age 35- Striker is rubbish- Keeper is a brick sh*thouse Assyrian who barks pidgin English instructions to us

 

Haha- See you tomorrow- we like playing you, you take it seriously but are not w**kers about it- we respect that

 

(PS your keeper was alright- he was actually pretty agile, he just never seemed that...interested.)

 

you had your moments but we didn't want the game to end and you seemed very happy to hear the final whistle-all up it was one of the freindliest games i have played ina long time

 

Park life has previewed Div 9:

 

Both sides of the story… Capital nine top of the table clash

The Oranje Salmon have been swimming around these parts for years - originally under the moniker ‘Steve Austins’ (thank heavens it was pre-Kingz, otherwise the Steve Austinz may have challenged even the Kittenz for the most absurd name in Capital Football).

The Naenae Hypocrites walked last year's Capital 10 as a new side filled with players who at one stage in their careers played first team at various clubs around Wellington (and in Richard Lilyston a man who played in the Capital Premier League as recently as Monday).

These two teams meet this weekend at McAlister Park in the Cap 9 top of the table clash.

The Salmon once had the perfect team for the volatile folly of the lawless lower divs; two lawyers, a reporter and a kick boxing custodian. These days they are a slightly more aged and cultured lot including an award winning playwright poached from the Waterside Nomads, a brick sh*thouse Assyrian goalkeeper with a Mal Meninga-esque goal kick and a highly strung skipper chasing an improbable hat trick of hat tricks in 2009.

Fresh off the back of a 9-3 thumping of an abject Petone the Salmon are confident of giving newly promoted Naenae Hypocrites a run for their money.

The Hypocrites last match against Marist Skins was a 5 -1 win. Although the score line was pretty flattering for the Naenae side, as the Skins were one of the best all round footballing sides the Hypocrites have faced. As usual Aaron Taylor and Rob Mallon lead the scoring while Tony King and ‘Lils’ walked around ordering people about.

The game was played in good spirits, no bad tackles and not too many, “aw Ref’s!!”. It’s not always said but the Skins were a good bunch of lads. This week it's all about the Salmon, let's go fishing boys!!

We're picking: The rest home residents across the road from MacAlister Park have been warned to lock their doors in expectation of a visit from the Naenae side, but nonetheless Naenae likely to take home the silverwear.

 

 

Apologies for any factual errors-Lane has headed the ball too many times

 

when we thrashed you 5-2 two years ago (i scored five) and when you beat us by 1 or 2 last year, that was areally fun, intense game and i didn't mind losing.

 

both at Delaney #1 which was in good nick

 

One minutes silent observation for ANZAC Day tomorrow

 

...discuss...

 

 

Enjoyed the game enormously, and in very good spirits. Of course a draw would have been preferable, but both keepers were sound and the luck evened out - especially in the backpass leading to a blocked freekick.

 

Good luck for the rest of the season.

 

Marist Skins (Mangetout)

Salmon (Salmon & welcome to Tricky Dicky)

Petone (frustr8dstriker)

Seatoun (Football 51)

Naenae (Hard News- please ask them to come in)

Lower Hutt (Mw4liverpool)

 

it is only Chuggers and Bears who are in the wilderness to date

 

this should be a place for banter, reports, controversy, tactics

 

so far is been a little disapointing.

 

Seatoun vs Salmon should be a cracker- TAB would have Seatoun as favourites but salmon are coming off the back of a gritty clean sheet

 

a frustrating 1 all draw for us last week against the Tawa Bears.  After a couple of heated and contentious games last year, this one was more in the spirit of the game from both teams.  We shouldv won by about 5 nil - some good keeper saves and lack of finishing from us.  Tawa kept at it and nicked one in stoppage time.   Looking forward to playing you guys tomorrow frustr8d (hopefully i can open my account for the year).

 

they say thats one game they should win..
