Central League

Surely they wouldn't offer it if they didn't make money out of it.

think in the case of B365 for every local who takes advantage of the information gap and wins off them, there will be many more overseas gamblers who will bet on anything and everything, including club football in NZ. 

Seems to fly in the face of NZF's freakout last January about betting (given they have to approve TAB getting in). Smacks of wanting to have their cake and eat it.

So the table looks a little different to  many thought it might ????

I was surprised at quite how woeful Marist were. They can't complain or even mention the cards at all as from minute one in the game they were persistently fouling and talking to the ref. They were all warned multiple times and given plenty of chances.

Amusing moment when with about ten minutes to go Marists RB asked the ref how long to go and asked if he could stop the game early - he would have gone to bed last night with nightmares of Andrew Abba who terrorized him all day long, he didn't help himself by not having sprigs and must have fallen over a dozen times, I would have thought any player playing central league would own a pair of studs!

Article doesn't mention either SO hit the post 4 times - the score could have reached the double digits.

i'm sure I read somewhere that Bill wanted to have a pathway/links for the clubs "youth" players to get a chance in the central league. Doesn't appear they have any with McIvor and Wilson both playing... For as long as i can remember the club has always had young guys in the 2nd team ready and waiting for to step up to central league. Only in the last few years this seems to have changed, what has happened? 

I think you'll find they had a few youth players involved on Monday. Blake Koolen, Ethan Ladd, Ross Willox all teenagers and started, then Bradley Perks and Jorge Akers both teenagers off the bench, not forgetting Angus Kilkolly is only 21. Getting players in like McIvor and Wilson is needed to (a) help these young players develop in training and during a match, and (b) let's face it without some of the older experienced lot a team full of Hawke's Bay youth would sink very quickly in the central league.

To agree with your point, it's been noticable over the last few years especially, about the lack of quality youth coming through in the bay.....but for me the finger needs to be pointed at the youth development system in Hawke's Bay and not so much at the clubs. I just don't think the clubs (including Napier) have the depth of good young players in their ranks to compete at a good level

so is Ole > Nix Academy then?

I went to Lower Hutt v Stop Out  on Friday click for the write up

and some photos

Wairarapa's win over Napier in terrible conditions

Only just saw the last round of results, Team Taranaki, I am impressed! 

Big game against Wairarapa United this weekend. Keep up the good work boys.

Looking for goal scorers

I can't find out who scored in the Wellington Olympic v Western Suburbs game (1-all draw) at the start of the season and wanting to confirm scorers from Mondays games.

Olympic (1) v Team Taranaki (2) - Don't have Olympics. TT have Nathan Hill and Paul Cunningham

Napier (3) v Wairarapa (4) - got all scorers from video

Miramar (4) v Lower Hutt (3) - Got all Miramars but LH not sure, only have Sokou Diane and Tim Fenton

Suburbs (2) v Wellington United (0) - Don't have scorers

Stop Out (7) v PN Marist (0) - Got all scorers from twitter.

LH tweeted at half time that Diane and Ryan Benson were the scorers of their 2 goals. Didn't see a mention of the third

Thank you, think that matches up with what was on Miramars tweets. Tim Fenton, Sekou Diane and Ryan Benson

Wests - Olympic ,  Daniel Mulholland scored for Olympic. Don't know who scored for the Wests.

Olympic - Taranaki - Cristian Baz scored for Olympic.

LHC goal scorers:  Diane (1)  39'   Fenton  (2)  41', 67'

why have Capital Football stopped putting goalscorers on their website?

Yeah don't know why they have stopped doing that, which is why I'm trying to keep track of it here.

Surprising that the ref continued with the game with the ball stopping like that. Good watch though, thanks.

Own Goal

(No details as yet on who was the final scorer)

pretty poor from Weenix United - losing the second half 2-1 - they were 5-0 up at half time!

also Western Suburbs beat Lower Hutt 2-1

I'm updating table here including home and away results and golden boot.

Though does anyone know who scored the goal in Wests draw against Olympic on 2nd April and who got the goals on the Mon 17th April games?

Facebook told me that Paul Ifill scored from behind half way???

Wrong thread but in a similar vein I watched Maki Halikias score a lovely goal for the Greek reserves from just on the attacking side of half way, deftly into the net on the full. He almost did it again later in the game too. Celebrity appearance from Pink Panther Van Hattum on the sidelines upped the banter considerably. Matt Colic had a bit to say to Referee Mohammad after the match.

Don't know if it is true or not, but had heard the same rumour weekend been.

Great, another 6 months of watching him whine like a petulant child when things don't go his way.

The goal must have been disallowed as The Olympic reserves lost 3 Nil.

It was their third team not resies 

Interesting.

I heard that he was thinking of moving down to play for Olympic, however the wheels fell off because he demanded too much $$

isn't it an amateur league...? Hmm. 

Save your money to pay the refs, it's cheaper!
