north shore must have a good chance of going up.. Birkenhead just look like they would just rather play nice and pretty stuff! Which half was you in the goal buff?

Neither. The price you pay for not training. Not that either keepers gave me much to worry about.

Birko used 22 players against Shore though. They used 16 yesterday. It was a better reflection of what the actual first team will look like this season and the performance justified that.

And yeah you were right, that Oratia tournament is mickey mouse, and so was our performance on Fri nite

Metro. Must of been a mix of 1st/reserves/even aff championship players as they were terrible. We drew 2-2, the coaches were well upset with our performance.

Metro will struggle this year I'm picking, Buffon that may well have been closer to their first team than you realise, although I'm just specualting.

Apparently a new coach appointed at Albany...

Birkenhead transfers in:

Keegan Linderboom
John Fletcher
Sheldon Pillay
Maurie Wasi
Some Manurewa CB (don't know his name)

Any news on the centre back? Is Keegan Linderboom in any nzfc squad, you never hear of him when it comes to summer.

Not sure if the CB is still coming. He's been busy with work down in Chch so unsure if he will still transfer.

Don't know if Keegan is playing NZFC this summer either.

I watched them play north shore they had  johnfletcher, arnie p from albany..wasi,keegan.sheldon.waitakere city, ash crawford us college i think. callum  kiddell t.k.u  alex.risdale central. plus there usual players hobson,salta.lawson.parkinson..
very good on paper but north shore played as well but  according to buff were way better than t.k.u..
i watch most north shore teams Birko play the best football,but E.C.B still the most complete and better organized team, not sure if hes a an n.z.f.c club but a real talent
still think ellerslie are the favs to win it!

Personally i would put my mortgage on Birko winning it. The depth throughout the squad is unparalleled.

Sounds like Shore has got a good squad together then - who's come in?
 
Pre season hit out last night: Warkworth 6 (ish) - West Akl 0.
Must say that West Akl were pretty damn average.

Watched game today bit of feeling out there! Pretty even game on a small bumpy pich.. Thought Birko   played the better football , whilst bays just sat in and broke..
1-0 to bays great goal jeff cambell with 10 to go..
Birkenhead lost wasi in warm up and pillay/hobson after 10....
Both teams look pretty fit!
I think bays will be in the top 3 this season.. some good keepers on display from both teams..

Happy to see people seem to picking MAP to stay up.

As for the women's game, interesting to see a 9-team prem this year, with Fencies and Western Springs fielding teams. I live quite near Seddon Field so I might go down the hill to support them when my team aren't playing.

(I just realised that I play at the third-highest club level in the Northern region now. I'm so high I'm getting a nosebleed.)

One of the main reasons why I am continuing to follow MAP although I am not playing for them this year is in recognition of Chris Gage's superhuman trolling efforts on the NRFL forum.
