Capital Two 2009

Varsity Seconds beating Varsity First is a right chuckle. while that kinda thing happens every thursday at training, to have a first team in the same league as a second team, let alone lose to them, is bloody amusing. Must have been some humour at training on Tuesday.

Anyone know the result of the Olympic v Gossies game? I take it Dreamers v Uni was postponed due to Chatham Cup?

Also, assuming that the 2 - 11 scoreline of SO v Mar was not a typo... WTF happened there?

unfortuntely no typo. 2 nil down within 5 mins due to defensive lapses and the rest fell to bits from there.

gossies 4 olympic 2  setting up top of the table clash with the mar this week and yes dreamers uni was postponed

Stop Out             1    Tawa                2   
Olympic              3    Seatoun             1   
Karori Vistas        1    Wgtn Dreamers       1   
Marist               1    University          1   
Uni Gossies          1    Miramar Rangers     4

any thoughts on the predictions for the week ahead?

No idea how we (Marist) will go vs Uni, we have been up and down and they are an unknown quantity, hope the Gossies get a win vs Mar.

Tawa 10-2 over Stop Out.....Gary Romijn grabbed six of them.

Dang... Stop Out didnt seem that bad preseason

Marist put to the sword 5-1 by Uni, a dodgy penalty made it 2-1 and it all went to heck

fair enough. it was dodgy indeed, sorry about that.
also, 5-1 was a bit harsh on you guys, though i think we could have killed the game in the first 15' of the game but failed to do so and thus we kept you in the game.

tawa have been the only team to put miramar under any pressure so far. the mar had 5 players out due to injury in their 5-1 win over the gossies. going to be tough to stop.

uni put the mar under plenty of pressure in their 4-3 loss where they had a good shout for a pen turned down late on that could have been the equaliser. mar will be hard to stop tho. going to need some upsets, preferably starting with marist this week.

Fixtures for this weekend

Tawa                 __    Olympic              __    Redwood (12.30);
University           __    Stop Out             __    Kelburn;
Miramar Rangers      __    Marist               __    Miramar 1;
Wgtn Dreamers        __    Uni Gossies          __    Melrose;
Seatoun              __    Karori Vistas        __    Seatoun.any predictions on results? with the weather atm it will be a mud bath so upsets are all the more likely

Bobby the Greek to have a nightmare in goal and let in 5 against Tawa. Final score 5-2

Vistas to win one against Seatoun. The return of Slugger Suggate and the world's shortest footballer J Lo will see carnage at Seatoun Pk.

Marist 2 Miramar 1,  good hard game vs the Mar today thought it was going to end in a draw, but (un)lucky oggie in the last five mins sealed it for the green machine.

CMON MARIST - great call from centre back - cross to penalty spot, Marist did and Miramar boy buried it for us, gold

that s a great result for..well everyone but Miramar! they have been really good this season, but with an average age of about 59 hopefully they will start losing a few points here and there during the season.

Well done Marist! There is no doubt that Miramar have quality throughout their side but the Kilbirnie outfit ran themselves into the ground and probably deserved all three points.

However, I genuinely do feel a wee bit sorry for the Mar defender who nodded the ball past his own keeper with only a couple of mins remaining.

We had a few changes from last weeks squad. one from the 3rds and two from the 1st team squad. One of the 1st team boys was returning from 4 weeks off injured so needed a run. He only lasted 20 mins before doing his ankle again.

Should be a great game in the weekend for the top of the table between Mar and Utd. Im predicting a very tough and close game against two of the strongest teams in the league so far

And plenty of ambulances on standby to cart away the steady stream of old fella's breaking down.

3-1 olympic- university..

2-0 Marist over Stop out

2-2 Tawa v Wharfies

0 0 Welly U Dreamers v Marist

my bad 0 0 Welly U v Mar not Marist. These scoreless draws make me so excitied I can't get my teams right/

So anyone got a preliminary league table?..it's getting interesting! Our game v Stop Out at the weekend was pretty even; high atttition rate with our Legendary stirker Crowie going off early with a dud hammy and then our captain, Matt the Silent Assasin, getting collected in mid air and getting carted off to hospital with concussion. (NB: Scholesy...Matt foaming out the mouth whilst unconscious does not mean he was holding out on sherbert. Max fine for that Sunshine!)

Jamie Cross   was away this weekend, I don't think anyone else does any work at CF.
