The lack of match results in recent Monday morning ODTs is disappointing - on more than one level.. Many lower grade players scour the small print to see scores, and just how well their rivals are doing. Once upon a time, as fairy tales start... There used to be Saturday Sports papers - sold at tea time, covering matches played that afternoon. The Star Sports was a wonder of technology. Pre-computers of course. Monday morning League Tables and scores, also Rab existed but that was when Blair Davidson was a boy, and horses and carts made streets dangerous - or was it really just last year ? Footballsouth explains that they have been let down by their computer software. Promises have not been kept. Hence no scores in the ODT. Possibly the old results gathering information by telephone could be reverted to while software catches up, but that is not viable according to Operations Manager Pete Ritchie. Its just not a good look, when other sports can get results in, but we can’t manage to compete and promote the Worlds Greatest game. Still taking my Grump pills, its strange that ‘I’ have been harangued by frustrated players and supporters, regarding the lack of ODT Results, yet OM Ritchie claimed he had had no complaints from the general public. Tsk, tsk guys. Its no good moaning to me, and in assorted bars and bordellos, for goodness sake stick your spoke in, and show some concern - or else apathy will totally dumb down the game in general.

Burgie Mosgiel look to have assembled a very strongstyle side this season, and nil all at half time nobody could anticipate the Burgess Blitz in the second half. We welcomed back Tim Myers from Waitakere United, his experience and composure on the ball will serve us well over the future weeks encounters. Fletchers played Braes and were transferred from Bayfield to Tahuna, winning 5 nil. ‘The Crab’ shifted from keeper to midfield, and put on a fine display. Captain Geordie Reid was strong at left back. Mark Burnett made his debut in goals and it was great to see him not conceded any. The team is very young, they train well, and are keen to learn, all is starting to look good for them this year. Eddie’s 3rds played Northern and got their first points of the season winning 2 1, a strong game by Ryan Eckoff. Our 4ths played Melchester at Bayfield, they got a bit of a lesson, but will get stronger as the season progresses, Jason picking up the player of the day award, with a fine game.

Chids advises all who listens ,that they are unbeaten under his management, and have points to share to all the other teams at the club. Another great night of Friday night football, allowing players to support other teams and spend time with their families during the weekend. The Colts played Northern Masters at De Carle, losing 2 1, Craig Pledger was strong in midfield and put the ball on a plate for the front runners, but they squandered far to many clear chances and the result was a fair indication of the game. The Gerries played Roslyn Moas at Ellis, they were very disappointed with the way they played. Coach Loy not at all impressed. We lost 4 2, next weeks break cant come soon enough, then we can restart our season. Transylvanian Tony On Sunday the Prem ladies hosted Northern, playing into the wind first half, the girls struggled to get their slick passing game going, nil all at half time, stern words by the coaches at half time. Up 3 nil and feeling comfortable, Northern hit back, getting back to 3/2. We scored again and made it 4/2. Well deserved win for us. The Diamonds hosted the Swans in the Club derby, the youthful Diamonds winning 5 nil. Great games for the Swans from Tony Boomers wife Katherine. The club welcomes in Matt Stillwell from Bay Olympic, great to see our link with that club continuing to pay dividends. On Saturday evening one of our sponsors John Harley from House of Travel was present and presented the www.soccerotago.co.nz club with a very generous donation of a signed and framed Ryan Nelson World Cup football shirt, and 8 jackets to be used as subs jackets on a Saturday. We thank him for his kind generosity. The Culling Lounger Page 5 [email protected] [email protected] Peter Wal’s Prems put in an excellent close.. performance against reigning champions Cavvy. After conceding an early goal the lads got stuck and played some attractive football. For long periods an equaliser seemed an inevitable and just as it seemed it might never come Sam flighted in a great cross from a free-kick for James to time his run perfectly and head home a thoroughly deserved goal. The last 15 minutes were frenetic and both team s pushed for a winner that never came. POD Mikey was superb with along with Sam in the middle of the park Puyol and Frodo were great at the back, and Bradical ran himself to literally ran himself to stand still, making even Callum look quick at the end of the game. Whilst the first team were involved in a great game the Feltcher’s barely got out of 2nd gear. Heals aid out a game plan of keeping it simple and stressed the importance of keeping a high standrard but the lads failed to lift themselves against mediocre oppanats but still managed to win 6-1. The goals were scored by Andy Pandy (2), Nick (2), Jez the Dolphin and POD Fraser who was superb. The ABL lads racked up their first win out at Sunnyvale with goals from Euan and POD Billy.
