[shorty]

so whats the go with these cup games this week??
who's playing who/where - and do they all have to be played at the same time? (",)

are the reserves playing this week too??

all i know is fulham are playing metro - like usual!!

[ze_camel]

the cup games a round robin competition like last year there were 2 groups of 4
and top two progress?

or was i looking at something completely different?

[BillShankly]

One group of 5, one of 4.
Round robin format, top 2 progress.

Group A
Fulham
Metro
Olympic
Campbelltown
Western Toros

Group B
Adelaide City
Cumberland
Para Hills
Sturt Marion

Playing this Friday
Fulham Vs Metro (Could be a Wed match)
Olympic Vs Campbelltown
Bye - Toros

[ze_camel]

is there only 9 teams in the girls division?

so there is always a team that has a bye then?

[BillShankly]

Only 9 teams this year.

It was intended to be a 10 team comp with Eliz Vale relegated and Toros promoted but then Gawler dropped out to make 9 teams.

There is a bye each round of the season.

[BK8]

so.. does anyone know what is going on with that fulham metro game? is it a wednesday or friday??

[ze_camel]

so why didnt they bring up another team from the division bellow?

guess it gives the girls that extra week rest when the bye does come around.

tbh diego - there wasnt a team decent enough and also u need "i tihnk" 1 junior team and definately a reserve team - the other div 1 teams couldnt fill the space in that regard.
and i thiiiiiiiiiink - it was metro div 1 who won everything so they cant have two teams in prems anyway!!! but dont quote me on that..

i tihnk it will be a wed game - just because - metro have sturt and we have cumby so two tough games i tihnk. we would be doing metro a favour if we agree'd to play wednesday

what are ppl's predictions??????

[pvfc]

almost right shorty - it was actually Metro Div2 that I think you are referring to.
Clubs with Premier League teams are not allowed in Div1. After Reserves, Div2 is the next highest comp they can have a team in.

in saying that what do players like yourself rather.

play a "weak" side as you were saying or have a week off?

[Tottenham Hotspur]

There are a couple of clubs in Div 1 getting organized (so I've heard) with their juniors etc to be a prems team in a season or to. As we all know its a huge jump from Div 1 to Prems

[SpazzTic]

It is confirmed as a wednesday game kick off at 7.. at fulham

See everyone there..

i reckon fulham will win 2-0

[gubs]

0-0 draw

[BK8]

fulham 1 metro 0

toros won div 1 last season.

[billy the kid]

Good luck to cup participants.

Its come around so quick.

Fulham United (is this the name shorty) should however do not underestimate the dower stiffling Metro United game.

Metro are the Western Bulldogs of the comp. Always around the place. Give a hard contest but never quite get to the top.

Id rather a week off to be honest.. Waste of time goin out if ur gonna flog em. Just me?

[shorty]

diego - personally i think id rather a week off...

most of the "weaker" teams are from the north - if it saves me a two hour trip im happy to have a bye haha

shld be a gd game wednesday - u coming out diego?!

[Teza]

result from 2nite?

[Unretired]

Metro won 2 nil against Fulham.


I would just like to say a big thank you from myself and the rest of my family to the Fulham girls and the Metro girls for the minutes silence at the begining of the game for the passing of my grandmother.

It really meant the world to me and Racheal.

Thank you

[I know.]

2-0 win to metro.

Interesting game, metro scoring 2 early goals in the first half and keeping the Fulham defence on their toes. Second half metro played a aggressive game, Fulham finally awoke and started to play better soccer and were in the attack most of the half but were unable to put any goals away although they did come close.

The referee was very busy in the second half trying to keep up with metro's usual aggressive style of play eventually leading to a send off (kirrals - number eight).

What I found quite hilarious - it was close to the end of the game (about 5mins left on the clock) during a metro corner, they kept 4 defenders back and 3 were marking MJ... please explain??

Overall, the game certainly kept everyone on the edge of their seats and would have been a disappointing result for fulham but as for metro their 2 early goals paid off for them.

Well done.

[Silly billy]

Why does it matter if three metro girls were marking mj?
they won didn't they?
your comment is irrelevant and unideal.

is she the tall striker for fulham?

seen her against metro in the GF last year.
didnt think much of her at all, maybe an off game.

metro have a full strength squad?

[deyy]

And the forum goes quiet.. haha. love it!

Quigs wen u can score in real life ill think about puttin u in my premier league team. lol

R.I.P Grandma Quigs

Couldnt make the game coz of other commitments but what did kirrals get sent off for? Was it worthy of a sendin off?

[beaches]

Hey Diego think your comment on the tall Fulham forward a bit off the mark. Her team mates should be getting smarter, because whilst 3 defenders are attending to her there must be other options like a few loose Fulham players to use. The same happened in the Cup Final. Sure this matter will be addressed before these teams meet again and also for when others teams they play try the same tactic.
You asked were Metro at full strength! One could ask were Fulham?
Metro won this encounter looking forward to a couple more clashes during the season.
Both these teams have more to worry about than each other this season I suspect.
