Mainland Premier League

You ya big stirrer. 

Who/what?

Used the term 'ditching' to mean changing coach. 

Heard it's a tenner to get in for NZ Cup Chatham Cup games

Free on Saturday, picks for the cup finals? Cashmere and Bays would have to be favourites?

With Bays run of form of late, you would have to say Coastal would be favourites. However, considering Coastal's own run of form I'm going for penalties!

What? The Coastal thinking fans or Parklands the club of the future? Both seem a little far-fetched.

One more so than the other

Marian played 5 won 5 at the Secondary School comp in Ashburton

0 goals conceded so far.  

Avonside Girls unbeaten in the Dunedin one. Beat Rangi Ruru 4-3 in the semi this afternoon, Meikayla Moore, 2 goals and 2 assists. Final tomorrow morning vs Columba.

In the Premier divisions it looks something like this...

BOYS
CBHS made top 8 and were beaten by MAGS 2-0; playing for 5th-8th
Cashmere made 9-16
Bede's 17-24
STAC and Shirley Boys 29-32

GIRLS
CGHS 17-20
Cashmere 21-24
Villa Maria 25-28

Quarter Final Results for the lads:

  St Kentigern's College   2  Tauranga Boys College 0
  Sacred Heart College (Akld) 3  St Peter's School (Cambridge) 2
  MAGS 2  Christchurch BHS 0
  Auckland Grammar 6  Hamilton BHS 0

Interested in seeing Cashmere doing well this time and Burnside did well a year or so ago. They dont strike you as a major footballing school, is it they do well getting club players available? Or any other ideas?

All club players play for their schools in tournament week - for those schools that compete

Tickets DO NOT go on sale until 9am Friday 6 September, so not really a balls up.

AGHS won in Dunedin

Burnside v Marian final @ Ashburton

tickets are available

50c for kids is alright. 

website says 1-0 AGHS

hope it didn't get the Marian result wrong as well!

Not always the case as some schools won't allow players to play tournaments if thay have not been available for school 1st X1 on a weekly bases. Stac with Tane Gent a few years ago got given the hard word, that was after he'd played a sesaon MPL for WTech.

Burnside High didn't have a school team competing in a Saturday comp this season so yes had club based players for Hamilton.

When Selwyn was involved more with the APFA, we joked that Lincoln High School would have carved up with all of their APFA students, except they were given the hard work not to play for the school under any circumstances, pity that.

Actually no gate sales if all tickets, 2500, are sold online, otherwise their will be gate sales. Heard late this afternoon that sales have passed the 200 mark already although I doubt they will sell out online?

The language at MPL games mean this is an ideal event for children to go and learn a series of words to shock their grandmothers with.

Brilliant!

On that note, are Western supporters allowed to watch other MPL games or are they only banned from their own matches?

Mainland will happily sell you beers from here.

Well done Boys High a good result, what has happened to Shirley Boys in recent years slipping down the results table big time.  

Big day for local footy. Good luck to the four sides contesting the Reta Fitzpatrick Cup and the English. A new new will be going on the Reta Fitz Cup and maybe on the English Cup as well.

Can Cashmere Technical become the first side to win the South Island Football Championship Final on the road?

A good day at ASB tomorrow building up to an even bigger day next Sunday.
