Local womens football (incl. W League)

Upper Hutt scored their 46th or 47th goal this  season against Rapa in the Cup on Saturday

Edit : 54th Goal this season

what? I went to the game and it was the COMPLETE opposite. Vic Uni shot twice and scored two speculative shots from 40 yards which the keeper should have handled (scorer was the one who made the NWL squad). Vic barely strung three passes together.

The lack of relegation is mindblowing imho. I would suggest that the top 2 in Womens Cap Prem would more than give the bottom 2 w-league sides a run for their money.

Bizarre, not the story I heard from the coach and my sister who played 70mins, they made it sound like we absolutely bossed it and karori were lucky.

Yeah it did sound like Nicole scored a couple of screamers but she's been doing that all season.

Speaking from a Vic Uni POV the money is a huge issue, its essentially 5x as much $ to play Central League and we simply don't have it. First priority is to earn a chance at promotion and go about how it will be funded from there because Capital Football seem open to allowing pro/rel despite the rules they put in place.

maybe somewhere in-between then :)

Karori did have a lot more structure to their came.

Fair point -  a 6 team comp, with teams in Palmie & 'rapa means the costs are  high for travel. Perhaps a 8 sided comp would lower the costs for the majority of teams?

"open to allowing pro/rel despite the rules they put in place" 

wtf

Doesn't seem to have worked out quite as they had intended. Its in discussion is all I know and I don't think it has progressed passed discussion.

Women's Knock Out Cup, games to be played 5-6th August

Northern/Auckland

Eastern Suburbs v Three Kings

Glenfield Rovers v Forrest Hill Milford

Central/Capital

Upper Hutt v Palmerston North Marist

Mainland/Southern

Dunedin Tech v Coastal Spirit

Big day today saw Upper Hutt go 4 points clear after beating Utd 2 nil. A tight game with bith goals scored from Corners. Utd played with 10 players folliwing sending off of centre back Marije for second yellow

Dont think even Olympic could find cause for complaint with the send off.

Seatoun reboynded from their Cup loss to PNM to share the points in Palmy with a 1 all draw.

Big game next week which will probably decide the title when PNM travel to Maidstone.  Anything less than a win for PNM will more than likely see the title go to Maidstone

Whispers have it that this result might change. To a Marist win.   This would see them on 26 and only 2 behind Upper Hutt on 28.  

League title is wide open still if this is the case

Oops- sorry, the implication is that Upper Hutt v Marist game is the one in question, not the Marist game the weekend prior...

Same question - what did UH do?

Not the upper Hutt game. It was 1-1.

Whisper is about Marist vs Seatoun game.   Guess everyone waits and sees if anything eventuates 

ahh, so is this in anyway related then to the seatoun managers ban?

oh well if it's Seatoun they probably played a 14 year old. They have done it on a few occasions but Cap Footy have never taken points off them before. The difference is that usually they used mainly do it with their div 1 team.

Kelly Cup quarter finals

Wellington United 5 Palmerston North Marist 0

Stop Out 1 Seatoun 2

Vic Uni 0 Upper Hutt 9

Wests v Wharfies tomorrow

Saw Wgtn Utd v PN Marist & 2nd half of Vic Uni v Upper Hutt 

PNM had a few changes, but Wgtn Utd were good. game did have a sort of pre-season friendly feel to it though

Vic v UHC was 8-0 at half time when I turned up!, so Vic did well to keep it to 9, again a few changes in their team from usual.

Wendi Henderson played for Upper Hutt, so they had 3 ex football ferns on the pitch (Sarah Gregorius & Briar Sargent too)

Since when has Bria been an ex-Football Fern?


Methinks you'll find she never represented them!

Wibbler told me that but he obviously got confused between Briar Sargent and Cushla Litchwark (who has played 15 games according to your records) - so still 3 ex football ferns on the pitch

Wonder if Vic Uni are still keen on promotion to Central League...

you're right, I read the wrong column on ScouseKiwi's site (it happens when you are on this site at 2:20am!) - 15 was the year, she did make 1 appearance but not in an A international

It's looking like they're going to end up third in the prems, so it's irrelevant.
Wharfies on the other hand...

Not saying it would've changed the result but was definitely an influencing factor in the scoreline.

We'd love to be there next year if allowed and affordable.

Also, not irrelevant that we're coming 3rd given WU can't get promoted even if they win the league.

Only one (potential) promotion from Prems, and only the top two teams have a chance at it. Assuming it's run how it has in the past.

But you still have a game in hand which I missed (oops), and a better GD than Wharfies, so not irrelevant yet.

As an aside, looking for last year's regulations, I found this instead: Women's Football Plan

jesus if that is true you have been royally poked (however you have talked a bit of nonsense before so I'll reserve judgement)

worth remembering that when Vuw played UH in the nzf knockout cup the score line was only 1-0 to UH.

That's factual, not sure what nonsense I've talked before. Anything I've mentioned that I haven't seen first hand I've admitted is tinted with the bias of hearing it from others involved in the club. I was actually at this game though.

doubt Stop Out would want to drop, they were pretty pleased when they beat Seatoun and they also had a big turn around against Wgtn Utd, from 19-0 to 4-0. Their biggest battle would be keeping hold of their better players from the top teams

unless you are talking about Seatoun?
