if not for some outstanding keeping which possibly kept Asteras in the game.

Possibly kept them in the game? That keeper is a gun. I am surprised Bodø didn't write on essay just on the keeper's performance today. That keeper is definately one to hold on too

Yes, he made some fantastic saves including that one at the end. I would have been intrigued what would have happened had it gone in.
The second half was pretty much one way traffic and as someone else said that keeper is a gun.

Africa 2 Wanderers 2 and AET
Africa eventually won 4-3 on penalties.

How is it that the best team to ever grace the Saturday League lost in the Cup!?! And against another Saturday side!?!
I can't believe it.The winners of sat div one2008 just lost a game

Why is that? You only just beat the Africans yourself and had either the freekick that was smashed against the crossbar or the one after that whistled over gone in you may not have got anything out of that game. They're not consistent, but when the Africans get their crap together they can play well. You've still got to travel to Cowandilla (also known as Oddsocksville). That pitch is a shocker and nothing like the turf you play on.

Florina 2 - 0 Croatia (AET)

Florina down to 10 men half way during the first half..
good cup result ground out the win when we rested 6..

Can you shed any light on what happened during the C team game and why it was called off?

all in brawl

[coutinho10]

was not just a huge exaggeration there, try two guys having a scuffle and and getting red cards and then the oppositions brothers one on the field and one was a linesman (who went nuts swinging the flag and throwing umbrellas) just wanted to fight, we tried to diffuse the situation but the two brothers just wouldn,t stop, so our ref stopped it there. Took us and them a good half an hour to calm them down after the game. Apparently the three boys have been through a lot in their life lately, though not condoning what they did as this is not needed on the football pitch ..

before posting all in brawl get your facts right..gotta love the chinese whispers of the football news sms chain messages optus and telstra must drop packets of text through transmission somewhere hey lads..

Grove 4 Westies 1, Bad day out for the west today all credit to the Grove boys who were very commited and worked hard all day long. If they can compete like that for the rest of the season they should stave off relegation comfortably. Good luck in the next round!

How many regular first team players did you rest?

I heard they had a basically a full strngth outfit, only minus M Haris and P Simpson.

oops and former Grove Player redsfan08 - didnt get the enjoyable honour of playing his former club.

Any results for the +35s Cup?

athelstone 1 - MC Woodpeckers 2.

Woodpeckers keeper pulled off some great saves in both halves. 1-0 at halftime, handball in the box, pentaly converted.

Own goal and header from corner (with about 10 mins or so to go).

There was a bit of niggle out there from both teams, good luck to the Woodpeckers in the latter stages of the cup.

Reserves Cup

Para Hills West 1 - Fulham United 2

Great win today against another division 1 sunday league side. First half was very even with chances at both ends, but the second half we cabernet them down and scored the winner midway through the half. Not sure how Fulham A's travelled today though

Yeah good win on a crap pitch!

The Fulhams A's game was called off just before half time after an Adelaide FC player went AWOL at the referee. Apparently ( just arrived after it happened) he pushed the ref then spat at him. Fulham were 1-0 up at the time.

Fulham go through.

[New_Beach_Driller]

West Beach ressies beat Payneham/Postel... 3-1! Scrappy game
Big Dan got two ... I would have got a hat-trick if Dan and Grouse passed to me

Depeleted Downs 35s over ran a ten man Brahman Lodge 5-2 who were let down a bit by some of the antics of a few of their players. It entertained a few watching but don't think it did their reputation any good.

Game was notable for an outstanding 3rd goal for Downs to put them up 3-2.

Reserves Cup

Adelaide Uni (2) 5
Adelaide Croatia 1

We were leading 4 - 0 at half time... Great result for the boys... We keep marching on...

He went AWOL (Absent With Out Leave), not suprised he was unhappy. Leaving the field of play is only a yellow card offence.

Again, I wasn't there when it happened, refs make stupid decisions week in week out agreed but to spit and push a ref is even worse, not fair on his team mates or the club.

Woosh ! (straight over his head)

Yes. It did go right over my head...

yeah I always thought AWOL meant when someone in the army go's nuts or crazy...

you know what I meant...

It's an old army term, but I think it means to leave your post without the proper permission.

Florina 2 - 0 Croatia (AET)

Florina down to 10 men half way during the first half..
good cup result ground out the win when we rested 6..

Florina looked very ordinary against a second string Croatia outfit who had 6 players out themselves.

Croatia dominated possession for most of the game...just couldn't finish in front of the sticks.

Florina had a player sent off in the second half 15 minutes in unlike other reports.

Florina looked all over the shop for most of the game struggling to string 2 - 3 passes. Croatia very unlucky not to go through...however congratulations to Florina for perservering & grinding out a result.

Lets get the record straight about the Fulham v Adelaide FC game.

Adelaide FC never came to play as they rocked up with only 10 men.

They only had 3 players from the starting 11 from the previous week (1 of our club members went to have a look at them just to get an idea of what they were like).

It was there 1st loss that game for the year against the Cove who are apparently a very good side.

So basically they were stacking there B team (they had a cup win) and only turned up for our game cos they had to.

If they forfeited there B team would have been kicked out of the cup as well.

With the abandoning of the game there forward got a yellow for a rash tackle early and then a 2nd very bad tackle earned him a 2nd yellow and send off.

He lost the plot as a result and shoved the ref square in the chest almost pushing him over and spat at him and the ref called off the game.

We were winning 1-0 so game over and a win for us and an early shower – to be honest I was not complaining – it’s the closest we are going to get to have a week off until the end of the season.

Farm v ISC Raptors
A good 2-1 win for the boys after having a player sent off in the first half. At 2 nil with 11 men, we looked very comfortable. Even the first 10 mins after the red card we looked good but Raptors started to push the ball around more and made our midfield run and run. They started to look a lot better and scored before half time. Not sure how the Raptors keeper wasn't sent off for hand ball outside the box. Even the ref after the game said that he probably should of but thats life.

Second half was similar but Raptors seem to be tiring as much as the Farm. I heard that they had signed four players during the week and I'm not sure if they were match fit or not. Both teams had a few chances to score but didn't take them.

Great to see Dave Ennis back out on the park. Highlight of the game was him coming on and 45 seconds later, getting booked With a few extra training sessions, he is going to be a great addition for the second half of the year.

B's V Elizabeth Grove
Didn't see the game but was told we won 7-1. It was 5-1 at half time. Fairly physical game and Grove had some good players but were just not fit enough. Andy Lynn scored a cracker goal.

C's v Elizabeth Downs C2
We won 13 nil. Downs C2 team are mainly kids who are still learning the game. They tired hard right till the end despite getting easily beaten. A couple of guys in that team who in the coming years could make solid B team players, possibly A's. We put out the youngest C team ever at the Farm and played fairly well. Got away with some things that we wouldn't against better teams. Well Done to Timmy Fisher for scoring 4 for the day. In his last game, Twin scored a hatrick!!

Where did you get that from??? No, i think youll find they started 4 reserves players in this game, but if thats signing 4 new players during the week, then i guess your right

Farm were all over Raptors in that first 15 minutes, and yes their Keeper should of been sent off for that incident, but your B's ref told some Raptor people on the hill that the reson he didnt send him off was because it was just outside the box and the ref couldnt really be 100% sure that the keeper deliberately meant to handle it outside the box. From where i was standing, i honestly thought he was in the box but it was brought to my attention that he was just outside by the smallest of margins and had the ref not been right there, it would never had been called, so well done to the ref for being right there, and well done to him for actually thinking what he did, because he had a split second to make the call the way he did and didnt kill the game in the first 5 minutes.
Having said that, what your player did to be sent off was just stupid. He got the free, no need to retaliate the way he did, the Raptor player didnt even touch him, i was standing right in front of that incident. Was a good game though, end to end action and Raptors really didnt play that well, so a deserved win for the Farm.

Actually we signed up 6 new players with the league friday night and they all had a massive impact on sunday......with our c teams!!!!

interesting you guys would know this info and even more so your coach would use it as part of his pre-game speach to fire up his troops.
One of our boys overheard him saying that we had signed up some new players and that they may even be ex national league players?????

all in all thought it was a good game and enjoyed the banter with your crowd, in particuler one female supporter who took offence at our coach yelling instructions.
You guys thouroughlly deserved the victory, well done and good luck for the rest of the year.

Really? The only time I dislike players/coaches yelling instructions is when they are running the line. Unfortunately it's too common a thing in Adelaide.

Has anyone had enugh time to compile a list of the winners?

Thanks popov
our coach does his job very well,
we had heard about some new signings so he was right to mention it
after all, they could've been stars, you never know.
If he'd had not mentioned it and we got dicked we'd look like clowns wouldn't we.

Yep great game to watch, I thought the #6, #23 (after his howler at the start) and #11 all had great games.
I do have a soft spot for Raptors though, they play football in the right spirit.
And yes the banter was all in good fun.
All the best, I think you will finish the season off very strong and we expect to see you next season
in Div 1.
