Central League Playoff
Central League Playoff
Theres been a few posts about Petone v Taranaki but of course
there's one more hurdle they have to cross before they even get to
play Taranaki.
Is there anyone on the forum from Fed 4 area who can enlighten
us on who Petone are likely to be playing and most of all, whats
the vib up that way on how this team will fair against
Petone.
Palmerston NORTH END won the western side and will play off against the winner of the eastern side, which is Cru-Bar Maycenvale United..
don't know how good that latter is but looks like they have a solid defence with only 7 goals against
Maycenvale are a fairly good team - have a look at
soccereast.org.nz in the pacific premiership section for a feel for
their team - some familiar names like Adams and Halford. No
idea what the Palmy team is like.
Maycenvale have also recently signed Sam Messam - Hawkes Bay United
striker who has been banging them in. 9 in the 4 games
since he's signed.
Toffeeman, do you know if Petone have signed anyone for the
playoffs?
Andy Barron, Karl W and Big Jimie B in goal.So I have heard.
I heard the same thing. Roy. Bit rude to crap on the players that
got you there I think but thats just my opinion.
I have heard of players being brought in for these types of
games and it not working alot.Will have to wait and see.
Not sure if they're going to play or not. Have been out of the loop
a bit with not playing this season. It's tough on the current
players, especially the keeper, but thats life I guess. I did see
the keeper, Simon, was MoM against Tawa so maybe it has given
him a hurry up.
I think Karlos and Azza will add a lot of experience and will
definatly help but it is wait and see to how well the fit in to the
squad. I don't even know if they've been training with the
squad.
I thought that those guys had to sign with a winter club (to play
in NZFC), but they never planned on playing, and if they do then it
will stuff up the number of clubs played for rule for them
You can register for 3 and play for two.
I spoke to the goalie of those three the otherday and he reckons
they will most likely not feature at all for Petone this season.
They should sign with Upper Hutt, when need some help next year.
LOL
Heard Karlos was at training last night but is playing down the grades this weekend to get his second game in to qualify for the playoffs... The other two are hanging out for the last Nix spot so will not feature this season...
Jimmy B unlikely to get a nix's spot as they already have 3
keepers.
