Mainland Premier League

Sorry Vim my first day of tweeting not my best work, can I blame my phone.

Tech only won 3 - 1 and Suburbs 4 FC 1 Gagame Feni 2 goals in his first MPL game of the season with Ryan (Skippy) Stewart opening the scoring with Sean Parkes the other goal.

Tech looked to be heading to the break one down but scored twice in the two minutes of added time to go in 2 - 1 up. 

Was told by a Nomads offical that was OKed by two of the match officials at 12:30pm but ruled out by the referee when he arrived from Ashburton later on.

The Div 1 title race may be all over as Mid Canty played out a scoreless draw with University, the game between Waimak and ChCh United not played due to a water logged pitch at Kaiapoi.

Points in MPL after 15 round: Tech 33, Suburbs 32, Bays* 27, Western 26, Halswell 19, Coastal 18, Nomads* 12, FC 2 - * Bays and FC a game in hand.

Round 16 games:

Friday: Bays vs. FC - doubles as a Hurley Challenge Shield game  

Saturday: Tech. vs. Nomads,Western vs. Halswell

Sunday: Suburbs vs Coastal

Women's Results

Tech 0 Coastal 2

FC Twenty11 0 Western 4

Halswell 1 University 5

Points in Womens MPL after 11 rounds: Coastal 30, Tech 25, Western 20, Univ 9, FC 8, Halswell 4

No games next Saturday due to Coastal away to Dunedin Tech in the 1/4 Final of ASB Women's National KO Cup

Long day. Sad news on Div 1 I have to say.

Coastal Western was amazing game.

In Div1 if Waimak win all their remaing games will catch United. I hear that NZ Football are likely to announce the outcome of Universities appeal sometime this week so maybe a few twist and turns yet to come.

How late was the equalishing goal Vim.

FC closer to the drop, maybe only hope is to lift the shield against Bays in Friday night and then hold on to it for the remainder of the season, that may give them enough point. No pressure.

Cant remember if I've asked this before - Most likely have but I'm old.  But with FC looking like being relegated, will that mean the current Div 1 team will have to move down as well?  Also Selwyn Div 1 played FC with a 4-4 draw resulting.

"If you want to be respected by others the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you".

^ Wait, what?

AW82: Equaliser was 5 mins to go I reckon.

Dragoon: Yes FC div one will only have one team surely. However stranger things have happened.

Has been confirmed by Mainland that the postponed MPL game from yesterday - Nomads vs. Ferrymead Bays will be played at ASB on July 24 kick-off 7pm. 

Scottie Rd sorry to hear your volunteer time was soured by the braying hordes. I was hoping things would settle down a bit because of the very poor publicity our code has had in the last 10-12 weeks. Most people if pushed will say "the standard of reffing needs to improve", but why will people help out / give it a go if they cannot get sideline support? It's a race to the bottom. 

re: weather. Not promising for Inter-Fed's Mon + Tues is it. Fingers crossed something can be worked out. 

Coastal Women ; yup massive result v Cash-Tech plus got it without playing the strongest XI . Go, go , go

will be seat of the pants stuff but hopefully all the kids get a run.

following week is Japan Cup in Asburton IIRC tue - wed - thu

might have a look at 1 day... think Coastal have their club (12's) in. Been to a few 12D1 games this season and found it enjoyable but in parts also of very high quality. Good to see younger (read; not parents ) coaching it too. 

A few 14th grade/Nike Cup potential squads up to Nelson in week 2 of the Holidays also for a tournament.... FC Twenty, Cash Tech and Nomads included.....

Cash Tech are sending their very strong 13's to Auckland next week as well. Be real good for them, been perhaps the strongest single team for a couple of seasons now. 

also well done to Mainland for getting some football in today plus the Women's U-20 trial

good job in trying circumstances. 

Tony Smith's in love with Webby!

Can't be long till this Uni points appeal decision surely!  

I am! Follow on twitter @vimfuegonz.

Just before HT and University leading 3 - 1 but game closer than scoreline indicates.

I'm boring my other followers. I'll update on here. 3 1 ht.

3 2 Uni after 65. Top goals tonight!

Now University 3 Waimak 2 with 12 mins to go.

3 2 final score...

I'm picking we should hear by Friday.

Quite a few mainland in the u20 women's squad for Oz games
