Wellington Sunday League

the goalie for shamakura played a blinder

Mass confusion in the Sunday League this week. Still haven't heard if Tuskan Raiders played Justice League at the Velodrome or not. Trentham United beat Wallaceville 6-0 (Farken!) and Porirua waited for Arakura at Kura St. Better luck next week where we will attempt to complete the round. SportZone2007-07-31 10:31:01

So, Should I turn up?

I might head down for a laugh.

The George Elbourne Memorial Cup Draw was made at the Lyall Bay Bowling Club in front of a packed house. The Draw was made courtesy of the Championship winning coach, Royston from Porirua and the George Cup matches are as follows with the first team named the home team. SportZone2007-08-05 18:49:04

Tony, how many Latin Americans you calling up for the Cup ?  Just wanting to know how deeply we need to stack the side.

We r still looking for some of the Costa Rican National team that disappeared after thier match here.

Meh, we're happy to defend our plate win.

Trentham 1- Blazers 2
good natured game in the muck

Bring on the cup!

Cheers Salmon, it was a pleasure... apart from the two goals.

Suspect we've stuffed Awaikarangi three for the rest of the year.

Bugger-you moving the goal post again Morrison?
 WE WERE ON TO MEET YOU OR TRENTHAM IN THE SEMI & NOW ITS PORIRUA!

This has rigged written all over it

He's just following the lead of NZF.

More info?

The games were allocated in the order the teams came out of the hat and written down by Bart (Shamrocks). SportZone2007-08-14 04:47:33

im not one to enjoy gossip but... please tell us what you mean by "bringing the WSFL into disrepute"

WTF ?

I'm calling Tony.

In the beginning, Justice League were having trouble getting a ground at the start of the season and I wasn't too confident of a 2nd Arakura team making a regular appearance so I offered them the use of Sladden Park, which was OK'd by Excel,as well as my nets and corner flags. It was dubious whether I was going to be reimbursed for ground hire as it is going to be billed to Arakura anyway at some point. When my nets weren't available, I found out that JL weren't using Sladden but playing on Petone Memorial on any ground that had nets conveniently left up.
I asked them not to do so as they were only allowed on Sladden.
On Sunday they again played on Memorial # 2 and wrecked it further. On Monday morning I had a justifiably annoyed phone call from Jamie Cross, and also an angry letter from Excel. I'm also expecting a call from Petone as the teams playing told them they were a Petone Team.
This sort of behaviour isn't on. We are trying to restore a bit of integrity to the WSFL from previous years and altercations with Wellington Soccer and this doesn't help, especially if we are looking for grounds to run the Cup games and further more, I get it in the neck as I booked the ground and this will also impact on my good relationship with Excel and my other football activities.
I've also left a message for Duncan, the team organiser and he hasn't returned my call.

Well Tony, thats seems fair from your point of view

a couple of shcok results- well one big one
Raiders putting 5 past Porirua

Wonder how that sent down

Phoenix home game next Sunday- Can we please avoid a clash-Either KO much earlier or Postpone a week?

Thanks Tony

Oh yeah, forgot to report on our game;

Blazers dominated Justice League, 1-0 at HT.
Came out in second half and scored to cracking goals, JL keeper had a stunner, kept them in the game.

Jl scored with 5 minutes to go, a consolation goal- well reffed by Rusty from Shamrocks!

I'd report on our game but a combination of unjury and a significant post YFSLP hangover meant I was unable to make it (I suspect I was still too inebriated to drive). 

Hey Sunday Leaguers- esp. Mr Morrison

The Semi Final draw will be - Trentham United vs Wallaceville United -  Ref - Finn

All Games at Wakefield Park in Island Bay Kicking off at 12pm except for Trentham and Wallaceville at Heretaunga College.

Well done Blazers-

Second in the league and a great semi final loss against a stacked Raiders-

C'mon the blaze!

7-2 and off to the Plate final.

I was out injured so in the Backbencher at the time, but back next week to get killed by Porirua (assuming they wailed on Justice League at the weekend).

Excellent-

How many more games left tony ??

Cup and Plate finals and that's it.

Be nice to know where and when Morrison !

hey Tony,

To know when and where would be a fantastic thing but have you ever tried to get a venue at this time of year.
It's looking like the finals will be at Petone Memorial Park at 12 and 2pm and then the presentations in the Petone AFC Clubrooms for League and Cup Winners, Runners Up and also Best and Fairest team, Player and Ref.
Still awaiting confirmation from Excell and Petone AFC.
And then a 1 day tournament needs a venue as well.
The draw for the Multi Ethnic tournament is available at www.SportZone.org.nz and the WSFL team is starting to come together.

Wellington Sunday Football League Finals Confirmation
Sunday 1st of September
Petone Memorial Park # 4
12:00 KO Plate Final - Trentham United vs Porirua Mens Club - Ref Finn
2:00 KO George Elbourne Memorial Trophy Final - Arakura vs Tuskan Raiders - Rusty

Tuskan Raiders are the new cup holders for 2007 after an extra time , come from behind, win over Arakura at Petone Memorial.
Raiders grabbed an early lead through a 40 meter cracker from Sacha Nathu but the game was soon level after Ali Gonzales was brought down for a penalty slotted by Tony Morrison.
Arakura took the lead from a perfect free kick from Gonzales to be headed home by Miguel Baladares.
Arakura lead 2-1 for most of normal time but Tuskan Raiders equalised with 10 men and 10 minutes to go. Arakura hit straight back with a difficult ball into the Raiders box caused confusion between GK Potti and the defence leaving Gonzales an empty net to score into. With 90 seconds to go Arakura looked to have done enough but just on the stroke of full time they gave away possession for Raiders to grab the equaliser with a header and send the game into extra time.
The first 10 minute half was even with both teams creating chances. The second ten was the same with Arakura's best chance falling to Nigel Boese at the far post but Raiders defended and grabbed the lead soon after from a long through ball.
3 minutes later they had sewn up the game and it was all over with Raiders ahead 5-3.
In the Plate Final Porirua Mens Club were too good for Trentham United winning by 6-0.
The matches were well refereed by Paul Olsthoorn and assisted by Finn.
At the presentations after the match, Shamrocks were awarded Best and Fairest Team, Raymond Taukoro (Razer) from Porirua Mens Club was the Best and Fairest Player and Mataio from Sunday Blazers the Best and Fairest referee.
