 As in my club East Coast bays?

I blogged about the Bay Olympic v Birkenhead friendly here if anyone is interested in taking a look:

I don't rate snuffleupagus. I think he will be another footballer in Auckland. He did look ok playing for Canty though

Think he had quite a good goal to game ratio last season, very handy Northern League player, not Waitak or Auckland standard though.

I watched him play a Pre season game for Birkenhead he did ok good target man.. 

what games are on this weekend guys?

We are playing Shore on Saturday at 4pm (reserves at 2pm)...

Anyone know if Three Kings are playing this weekend or Rewa?  Woudn't mind looking at those two.

Three kings beat glenfield last nite they looked good hear there strong , they have lost a few but got some new players in who looked..

Bay Olympic playing springs crum pk that's all I know.

Big George has re signed for suburbs

Plenty of games on at NHS this Saturday through the day.

Glenfield v Taka, Waitak v Hibiscus and 3 Kings v Forrest Hill among others. Also we're playing Bays, should be a good test although I think its a squad team.

Melville at home to Tauranga on Sunday, might pop down for a look

 Might go down tomorrow and have a look, do you know what time Bays are playing?

1pm on the artificial

 Sweet will go down for a look, thanks mate

Crazy stuff, Claudelands through 10-5 on aggregate (!!!!) and are through to play Papakura

For anyone interested, I've done a status report on the number 1 pitches at every club with a men's team in the NRFL within the boundaries of Auckland Council. Includes photos and brief comments on the current condition of each pitch.

Gee shocking state of pitches...nice work Enzo.

AWARD THIS MAN A DOCTORATE! Well, somebody should buy him a pint at least!

He's good aye. 

I here Birkenheads star signing Jarrod Smith is out or the season...ruptured Achilles....

... and in other news, University-Mt Wellington Bohemian Celtic will have a men's team in the AFF/NFF conference.

Fixed.

Haha I remember watching Mangere, being confounded that their best player was a white guy - what the hell was Jakub Sinkora doing with a bunch of Fijians in division 2?!??

Money money money

Folks on Pre season games seen so far any predictions for prem. div 1 and 2.....

Can't  go past west springs. For div 2 ...

No. Not really.

Just pisses me off, mate. On field I've got no dramas with playing them and I'm sure they'll be a decent side. Why not just can the whole Uni-Mt pretence and let them in as Boh Celtic. Just lots about the whole situation that annoys me.

I'm never serious for long though  :-)

Buff are Birkenhead playing a 1 st team at a mixture this weekend

Yeah what he said.

Interested to see who turns out for Springs. Heard Embers has made (or is trying to make) some big signings.

Ken the young guy from Canterbury played for Springs in a midweek game vs ECB couple weeks ago

Heard some Birkenhead lads say ken gone to bay Olympic  

That's precisely what we wanted, of course. But the AFF won't let us, and no-one wants to commute to the Shore for home games. So this is the next best thing.

Anyone go to a preseason game over the weekend ?

Watched u 20 s v three kings.. Good game three kings look a bit younger than previous seasons looked good

No not really thought they would  be better but sure they will  get sorted soon a some 

 very good players in there

Anyone know where Yamamoto has landed?

Bay Olympic :)
