Mainland Premier League

Div 1. Bays 0 Nomads 2. Same story again for Nomads can't score goals as last season. This season dominate the game but can't put the ball in the net enough to kill the game. First goal a penalty afer handball on 15 mins.  If it had been 10 to nil Bays would still have only conceded half the chances Nomads carved out. PoD for Bays would have to be the keeper.

Div 1  Waimak 5 - 2 Cashmere, after Cashmere were up 2-1 early in second half.

Deleted as results already posted

Good result without the homophobic bench!

Div 1: Parklands came from a goal down to win 2-1 vs Hornby, all scoring in 2nd half

FT Cashmere Tech 0 Suburbs 2, scorers Omar Guardiola 14' and Sam Ayers 82'. Pretty good weekend for Suburbs.

Not as good as ours! #topofthetable

Selwyn drew with Turtles 2-2

Not looking good for the Rams or the Hawks even at this early stage. What was a 3 point gap is now 5 points and both teams struggling to score goals, gonna be a long season.

Round 5 games this weekend

Saturdat

Coastal Spirit vs. Christchurch United

Ferrymead Bays vs. Cashmere Technical

Universities vs. Halswell

Sunday

Nelson Suburbs vs. Western

Yes agree but still 17 rounds or 51 points available so plenty of time to get off the bottom.

who's got the Hurley Shield?

Wait. What? Did Tech lose it today?

fu****g COASTAL on top

Get in there

Well they lost today at home to Nelson.... Unless Nelson play their home games at ASB.... Nothing about it at the game though...

Big rumour Buff K going to mount the Rams

As it were.

Hurley Shield only played for among Canterbury sides.

Nope not this year

League wide open so far

Agree hopefully we will have three or four teams chasing for the title down to the wire. 

this is the table on the Sporting Pulse web site .........

Surely not, just a typo. It's impossible to untweet my #topofthetable blah blah.

Well it's still there, go check it out for yourself  -

Rest easy CS clan it's been changed now.

Anyone read this in yesterday's paper? Seeya!

Coggan says byebye

having taken in the coastal and Halswell game (who had mostly reserves playing) and the Cash Tech and Nelson game over the weekend with Cash Tech fielding half a reserve team, as much as the league is tight now when Cash Tech bring back in their regular players I can't see them being topped over the course off the season

Nice of the rain to come through to soften up the grounds a little before tomorrows games :)

Nelson 4 Western 1

Bays 1 CTFC 1

Uni 2 Halswell 1

Coastal 2 Rams 1

Nelson 3 - 0 Western

Bays 1 - 2 Cash Tech

Uni 4 - 0 Halswell

Coastal 3 - 0 United.

Selwyn defeated Parklands in the last few minutes of the game today.  Parklands went 2 goals up early in the game with Selwyn pegging on back just before half time.  

It was only in the last 10 mins that Selwyn grabbed on from a Corner, then Dan Ede squeezed one through the (Very good) Parklands Keeper.

Physical game with both sides giving as good as the gave.  Parklands look very strong this year. 

Oh Vim - your Div 3 boys gave ours a lesson in football today as well with a very convincing win
