Mainland Premier League (Part 2)

Just another anonymous Twit taking pot shots from cover. 

Nelson Suburbs fielded an ineligible play in the opening round against Cashmere Technical which ended in a scoreless draw, so result now 3 - 0 in favour of Tech.

No doubt Phillip Rollo will have more details in the Nelson Mail later today.

Revised Table as follow:

Team	P	W	D	L	F	A	GD	Pts
Cashmere Technical	2	2	0	0	7	3	4	6
Ferrymead Bays	2	2	0	0	3	1	2	6

Vim don't change the tips comp because I picked the draw.

Cashmere Technical vs. Ferrymead Bays - Garrick Memorial Park (Hurley Shield Challenge)

Coastal Spirit vs. Nomads - English Park

FC Twenty11 vs. Universites - Avonhead Park

Sunday 1pm

Nelson Suburbs vs. Western - Saxton Fields

Oh what the fuk. That's a disaster all round. 

If I had to guess its probably related to the players who backed up from the Tasmna United game the day before.

Any word on who the player was?

Look on the bright side vim. You may lose a point in tipping comp,but gives your coastal boys a chance of finishing above nelson in 3 rd spot. 

It's not a bright side at all. Any team taking points off Tech is a friend of ours. We're aiming for number 1 not number 3.

Any reason there isn't a Friday night fixture at English Park tonight?

I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do with myself instead.

Woolston Tech's odds on the TAB are looking very tasty.

Home game. Defending champ. Dragons players cleared.

What am I missing?

I guess cause Ferrymead are 2 from 2. I'm all over the $2.40 on offer for FC at home vs Varsity though!

tech was $3.40. Now $1.90

Probably loaded the odds the wrong way round, anyone who got on Tech at $3.40 will probably find their bet cancelled and refunded. Always a possibility to happen when some rugby-head in Wellington is loading odds on a competition he knows nothing about!

Yer I wonder who gets to pick the odds? They're probably looking at the professional outfit over there in the tipping competition. 

In what could be the biggest moment in football history, word has it that Broonie will tomorrow don the mighty Coastal Spirit shirt. 

Surely the rumour mill has just gone a little mental with that one tho huh?

What bet did he lose? 

Like last season not always a Friday night footy game.

Vim are you getting in early for April Fool's.

vim 

Well if it was  still under the guise of Rangers it would be But I would never sign for the team that had wings of a sparrow and and the dirty big bum of a crow

Wow. That escalated quickly.

on another note vim me old mate

What is the story with all the council pitches being marked in Black. 

JB in at GK was confirmed to me approx 60 mins ago

Go the Classics! 

Photo please, otherwise i'm thinking this...

MPL Twitterati. What is the designated #hastag? I'm seeing #chchmpl and #mainlandmpl

CCL results:

Waimak beat Burwood 1-0

Selwyn v Chch Utd 0-0

Halswell beat Parklands 3-1

Nomads MPL = 75 minute team. 

Shushy I think you have overestimated. They were only in the game for 75 minutes because Coastal were awful in the first 45 and gifted them a goal plus several other opportunities. Stunning turn around in the second half saw Coastal dominate to take the points 2-1. Would loved to have heard Messiah's team talk at half time!

Have you seen the price of white paint lately?

Oh now I think I understand - is today the first time in a long time you've participated in a lower grade game JB? The simple explanation is the "black" you refer to is the weedkiller used to mark the lines. You must have played in a more affluent area today, out east they just spray them with water and hope for the best :)

How did the game go.?

Is that Selwyn result a bit of an upset?

All todays tweets came through on #mainlandmpl I bleieve, it is the Mainland Premier League after all, perhaps the #chchmpl should be banned to simplify things?

Not just Christchurch Teams in the MPL

MPL Final

Cashmere Tech 0 Ferrymead Bays 1 - Bays win the Hurley Shield

Coastal 2 Nomads 1

FCTwenty11 4 Universities 1

Wouldn't say so. Both teams will be up there during the season and Chch Utd had work to do from pre sea

$2.40 was very generous, god bless the TAB

United v Selwyn wasnt a boring 0-0 either. United had 5 or 6 chances and selwyn had a couple. Both teams left a lot on the field. United were probably the pick of the two teams. I'm only an occasional mpl watcher but the quality of football in this game from both teams was better (and more interesting) than a lot I have seen in that league. It will be an interesting season.

Yet that's been the case for some years now. Was just going off the most recent tweet I could find from the federation ...
