Central League

He was available, scored 2, including a cracker from 25 meters out, then got sent off for a second yellow as Wellington United won 4-1 over Olympic

Guess we will be missing him next week, 25m though i dont know if it was that far buddy

no just looked at the photo I had of it, probably more 20 (but then everyone knows you add 5 meters on to shots like that!)

also if its a 1 game ban (which I think it is for 2 yellows), he'll just miss the catch up game against Lower Hutt on Wednesday

Enjoyed it but very one sided. Havelock looked very green, and pretty to keep XI out there I though. Great afternoon in the sun and $9 brave IPAs made it even better after we'd ridden there from Napier 

Top beer at a top price! well done HNW!

Basically giving it away!

wheels are falling off for Rapa, 2-1 loss to Wharfies. Havelock beat the Greeks as well, 2-1. Stop Out beat Miramar 5-2. 

Wins for Wests and Lower Hutt tomorrow would leave the top five separated by four points. On the other hand, Napier could go five points clear if they and Wests both win.

cannot believe that havelock result. They looked ragged two weeks ago when I watched them

Wheels falling off for Rapa? or are they just missing Ifill who's off in Hong Kong. Remember they will have Watson back next week (and possibly Kaltack and Chettleburgh)

Can see Napier and Wests winning, Napier cause they are better than Lower Hutt and Wests cause several of the United team are away in Hong Kong

Their reserves only had bare 11 yesterday so depth definitely lacking at Rapa at the moment

rumour has it that a coach who was sent off for foul and abusive language towards a match official recently has been allowed to appeal his 4 week ban, despite other coaches this season and last not being able to appeal their 4 week bans. 

Miramar will have few players back next week but not enough to take the 2nd team to a CL tittle

Wests had parker-price, wilkins and mccowatt back from Auckland city, and were looking fearsome. United struggled, especially in the 2nd half. Finished 3-0. 

Club?

Napier 5 Lower Hutt 2, Wests 3 Wgtn Utd 0 

just saying like :-)

possibly weren't allowed to appeal last season 

but these are the regs this season

13.Protests and Appeals

1. 13.1. Any Club playing in the CL may bring a dispute or protest to The Manager.
2. 13.2. A protest shall be made, within three days of the breach (includingSunday), by forwarding a written statement, on the Club’s letterhead,setting out the breach complained of and the name of the Club, player or persons complained against to The Manager.
3. 13.3. On receipt of the protest, as outlined above, a copy of the protest will be forwarded to the offending Club by The Manager. The Manager will make the necessary enquiries into the matters placed before him and advise his/her decision to the party or parties concerned.

Central League Regulations – 11

Those players will definitely make a difference, so will Miramar’s returning players. Trouble is, nearly half way through the comp, can only really see NCR or Wests winning it now. 

Heard a rumour that Olympic will be shooting Stu this week.

Apparently he offered a few weeks back to fall on his sword if they didn't see an improvement, since then they have lost to Stop Out (7-2), Wellington United (4-1) and Havelock North (2-1).

But the ban is based on the report submitted by the official, this has always been considered a full and final account. The 4 week ban cannot be appealed, only a suspension greater than 4 weeks as it is decided by committee. So CF has either gone against the officials report or the official has withdrawn the complaint. 

They can be appealed, one was appealed early this season by Lower Hutt too I be

Can be appealed on what grounds? How can it be proved that a ref was wrong unless the match report is changed? Video is not accepted to prove an error due to the fact that not all games are filmed so it comes down to the word of the officials. If this position has been changed by CF it is a huge shift and opens them up to all sorts of appeals. 

Don't know how they appealed just know LH did because was speaking to the guy who got the ban. His kid goes to daycare with my kid

Anyone got a list of players returning to there winter clubs from team welly?

Love how many decent club set ups there are in Central League at the moment.  

I'm hearing Stu seemingly on his way out of Olympic. The coach being lined up had their reserves a few years ago..

from Olympic facebook - Shaun Easthope new coach 

Guille staying at Olympic according to Twitter.

Stop out v Olympic will be good!
