Guys excellent photos from todays action at https://www.facebook.com/jlsphotographs

Smithy the Western Suburbs boys try to play some good nice football but they are probably not in the same physical condition as the Waitakere and Onehunga squads and play a pace a couple of clicks slower. They appear to have a few youngsters 2000 born and someone said at least one 2001 born? (the photos tell a story here) Apparently they only named a squad of  13 or 14?? (16 allowed) so that won't have helped either. Conditions today where tough: hot and the wind unfortunately got up again making play difficult later into the afternoon, although you would expect Wests should now how to play in windy conditions! Bruce Pullman Park is an excellent facility but you would struggle to find a more exposed, windy location in Auckland. I was watching the Waitakere / Onehunga game but are very surprised Wests lost to Cashmere from what I saw in the other fixtures.

Tomorrow is another day and you never know what that may bring. It sounds like it was a very early start for the Wests and Cashmere kids so after a good night sleep they may be up to spring a surprise or two!

PS: Got a download today from an Onehunga official on the background to the players eligibility being over turned today and will look to share this maybe tomorrow, when I have time to sit down and type it up as it has been conveyed to me (I also want to recount a couple of points tomorrow). But by all accounts the player in question only played in and featured on the team card for 2 of Onehunga's 9 fixtures up to this weekend and the loss of points from the 2 fixtures (per the MUPC rule book) had no effect on the results up to this point. Apparently Onehunga were aware of threats to challenge his eligibility so didn't use him until the fixtures were a dead rubber to try and flush out certainty. Apparently everyone including Onehunga wanted clarity and certainty on the issue going back to the 1st weekend of the Auckland qualifiers but the NZF football appeals committee?? kick-ed for touch with a non ruling on a point of procedure not being appropriately followed, so it dragged on until the player was used again.
