Mainland Premier League (Part 2)

I heard the Waimak Hornby Game had to be moved from Prebbleton to Warren park as well.. anyone know why?

2 weeks ago the grass was too long then.... Maybe they still haven't mowed it

Upset Halswell beating Uni on form? Uni holidays play any role in it?

Suburbs and Western was 0-0. Nelson were reasonably dominant but couldn't create enough genuine goal scoring opportunities

Today's result:

Nelson Suburbs 0 Western 0

Points: Coastal Spirit 13, Cashmere Technical 12, Nelson Suburbs 8, Western 7, Universities 6, Ferrymead Bays 6, Halswell 4, ChCh United 1.

Some interesting stats from the weekend - the scoreless draw was the 50th in the MPL, Coastal have recorded three win on a row for the first time in 89 games, with Bays third lost on the trot the first time this have happened in 109 games. 

At the moment there have been 2.65 goals scored per game in the 20 games this season which is lowest ever total in the history of the league.  

Round 6 games this coming Saturday:

Top of the table and a Hurley Shield Challenge:

Technical verses Coastal at ASB @ 5pm

Western vs. Bays at ASB @ 1pm

ChCh United vs. Universities at ASB @ 3pm

Halswell vs. Suburbs - The Nest as 1:15pm

Burwood start the div 5 mens season off with a 12-1 win over selwyn. hope thats not the way it'll be every week for the good of everyone...

We've got a new team at the club that had to start in Div 6 and they won 18-0...

Were the goals shared around? Or does Hans have a rival to take the club golden boot off him?

A big & last game for one player this weekend in the CT vs Coastal game I hear.

should be interesting for the table.

fair comment i think,

with myself taking in both games & my thoughts exactly.

coastal did we'll to capatlise on the scoring opportunities, Something they lacked last year.

Uni

CashTech

FC 2011

Parklands

Selwyn

Western

I think the WPL will be a genuine 3 way  go. Where as  CTFC will run way with the MPL

Do hope Selwyn get a few results, great to see their years of Preperation (hopefully) pay off. Surely Waimak up to WPL 2016?

Coastal, CTFC, Uni top3.

Selwyn v Hornby today - After going 1-0 after a couple mins, Selwyn pulled the game back and finished with a 6-1 win.  Hat trick to Dan Ede.  Hornby Keeper was exceptional - keeping the score to under 10.  

The Ground was terrible though - Black line marking - no ropes, still fairly long grass, fairly ordinary. 

Also - Selwyn WPL won 3-1 against Western - good result for their first game.

Ferrymead Bays beat Western 6-1, can anyone provide a match report?

well done Selwyn WPL

Coastal beat Parklands 2-0

MPL Uni 2 Chch U 1

Coastal 0 CTFC 3

halswell were very ordinary. Coey in goal for nelson is a beast. Halswell keeper on the other hand inspires no confidence in his backline

Can anyone shed some light on the news tht Dantè is quitting football....rumour has it tht he walked away from his game yesterday and has told a few he's not playing football anymore. Would be a shame if it is true.

Dante from Bayern? I think maybe a bit more detail might be required? Not everyone here is on first name terms with everyone else...

Two sides to every bit of news. Will be interesting to see what transpires.

Dante Alley ex Shirley BHS now at Cashmere Technical.

Yea because Bayern are in the mainland premier League and the league is full of Dantes. 

Ex Coastal

History of hot-headed huffs.

Why have I not heard anything from any coastal fans for the past day? 

Is it you're busy or just that they got an absoluting dicking in the weekend....

Yer I was busy and didn't quite catch it. What was the result?

This just helped my hangover. As if Jordan 

Didn't see the game but I heard they were fairly comfortable with the 2-0 win over Parklands. A number of younger players having their first/ less than 10  starts so pretty sure Alana will be OK with the result.

LOL. It was your vague assed question buddy. But whatever...

Also, what is an "absoluting" dicking? Is that different to a regular one? 

Gingers are the best at this time of year keeping everyone warm for free at cold trainings and games

Don't be jealous we won 3 0. Absolute dicking wow maybe like 40 shots to 1 is an absolute dicking? You from planet retards are us?

It's great to see modesty from teams on here when they win games! :$

doubt it's any one from Tech to be honest we have never been on here shouting off about winning , certainly defending our selfs to jibes like the wee symbol above . The coastal lads were on here last week posting about being top of the league and having beating a fellow club 6 zip , and that is there right to do so . we ask the lads to not come on here to scream of our wins even when there is something on it. Do doubt it's not any of the tech lads, and who ever it is take Jordan's name off because it certainly isn't him, and the coastal lads probably haven't worked that out yet, so un fair on a lad that goes about his football causing no fuss to get slagged off nameless face,s
