North Ryde have to travel to Leeton on Saturday.. thats an over 9 hour drive from North Ryde....Haha.... SEE YA!!!!

Ground is in good condition

Who is driving for it to take 9 hours?!? It's only 6. I think Ararat went to Wagga last year after Wagga came up and beat putney 11-0 Gosford have a couple of hours to Drive this year too for putney. North Ryde are just going to have to suck it up and go.. Luck of the draw

Yeah last year Pen had to go down to Bathurst on a Wednesday... You enter the FFA cup you have to accept the possibility of playing hours away.

what's up with north ryde not playing in the super league but are playing in the ffa cup, do they think they aren't good enough or?

I imagine they only have enough players for 1 team?

News just in..... North Ryde win FFA Cup match 1/0 in extra time!

WRR 2-1 Baulko

did rovers win?

Next round North Ryde vs Ravens - Peel Park.

Balmain 0 v 14 penno

putney 0 - 1 east gosford

Fuck me drunk 14-0 ??

Good win for Rovers against quality opposition. They will easily win Super League. The team they beat was in the top 3 of Hills Premier League 1.

Nerds lost 3-0 to Kirrawee Not looking good for the upcoming season...

Should be a few spies in the crowd on Saturday at Penno 14:30 PEN vs Dee Why 16:30 EEW vs Callala Brumbies 18:30 WPH vs South Coast Flame 20:30 RSU vs Balmain Tigers Disappointing GHFA is doing nothing to promote FFA Cup games.

You're forgetting that a depleted Kenthurst side still managed to dominate the Hills Premier League, says it all about the quality of that comp. WPH also did a number on Kellyville last weekend.

Doesn't NG coach Dee Why.

Kellyville missed a penalty at 1-0 (match ended 2-0). It was a great match to watch until some parents on the sideline got involved and the referee abandoned the game.

Yep they were very young. WPH were down 2-0 at half time to a strong Wollongong team

EEW won 8-2... Callala were very poor

Epping Eastwood had a few players out but looked old and slow across the back. Caralla were about AA3 standard. WPH were down 0-2 to a really good team from down South. They worked their way back into it and got to 2-2 before they ran out of legs. A nice effort

Yeah but we’ve been old and slow for years

Ravens won 6-1 vs North Ryde SC

Rovers lost to Randwick 4 - 1

How are NER looking this year? I've heard they have lost a lot of players?

penno lost 1-4 vs st george city fa st pats to play on friday night down near wagga wagga, epping eastwood and gladesville ravens still to play both their games next wednesday night

last night Hawks 11 - 0 Dunbar Rovers cottam cup

Good luck to Ravens and Eew tonight

EEW down 8-1 RAV up 6-3

Went down to VSP tonight to see EEW take on Central Coast PL side Killarney, and saw a Tigers team totally dismantled by the opposition. Fair play to Killarney as they would give most State League teams a run for their money, Pace all over the field and a striker who helped himself to a double hatrick. Tigers has no answer on the night and we’re second best in every department. Disappointed to see no attempt to change the game at any point, replacements were simply 1 for 1 as they looked completely lost against a better organised team. I think the rest of the GHFA teams will be glad they don’t have to face opposing teams of this quality each week...

To be fair to EEW, we played Killarney in round 1 and got smoked 5-1. They are a very good unit. Brings us all down to earth haha

Incorrect... you lost to Berkley Vale not Kilarney

Get off the rocks, rock

You play ravens tommorow Rock.

The welcoming party is a lot better at Boronia and at north Epping.

Yeah TG, @ Hayes. You coming down?

Good, your not fucking welcome TG you snake

I'm guessing it's you rock.

Good luck to the Ravens playing Marconi this Wednesday, last GHFA team Gonna need lots (and lots, and lots) of it

Putting the above-mentioned results into context, the Battlewin Premier League (Central Coast) is bloody strong, I’d suggest it is travel that stops them as being recognised as the strongest premier league in NSW… i.e. Killarney’s next FFA game is against Bomadary mid-week (Nowra) at 7.30pm on a Wednesday (10 hour round trip with game). There are 4 Coastie sides still in the FFA next round, including 7th placed Terrigal who drew Sydney Olympic at Pluim Park. Killarney are 6 from 6 in the league, scoring 24 goals 7 against. Second is Berkeley Vale with 5 from 6. Putting this is perspective, Avoca are 5th in the 12 team league. Avoca have a number of ex-Coastie NSW Premier League players, with James Monie (ex Newcastle Jets and NSW PL Golden Boot winner) and Shane Knight (ex-Bonnyrigg), they are a solid unit, but still went down 3-1 to Killarney.

Both central coast and wollongong have very strong premier leagues Some of tge wollongong clubs play their players as much as npl 1 clubs

More! back in the day when the NSL folded and before the A-League came along, the Wollongong PL were paying player 50% more to play in their league. It was so silly at some point where those teams were so strong they would show up most Premier League(now NPL1) teams!

Full time result Marconi 4 v 2 Ravens

Wow, impressive result for Ravens. Were they strong? can not believe you scored 2!

The comments about Wollongong is completely true, players were leaving the NSL to play there as they got more money. But it is my understanding that they can't play in the Champions of Champions for that reason, it is recognised that they are not an amateur league... while Central Coast is amateur, which is my point. It is not my understanding that the Central Coast pay players, but they may, I don't know... let's face it Brookvale weren't meant to be paying players yet players left NSWPL to play for them (obviously and rumoured for more money). PS. Great and respectable score line for Ravens!

Marconi only played with 3 u20s the rest were first grsders Ravens went up 1 nil in the first 20 but went in 2-1 down at half time Marconi scored again half wsy through the second after bringing a few of their 'stars' Rsvens made it 3-2 with 10 to go and set up a very nerve rscking finish for marconi With a minute to go rsvens had a corner and sent all their players up to try to equalize Marconi cleared it and made a break and won a penalry down the other end and scored eith the last kick of the game to make it 4-2

i highly doubt you only lost 4-2 to marconi's first grade. they would have played fringe players not regular first grade players. Let's be honest, there is daylight between the top of the GHFA and Ravens, so there would be light years between NPL1 and Ravens if both teams were at full strength.

Cheng, Vella, Cleur, Bergamin, Webb, Danaskos, Ponce all started the match. All have played in 3 or more First Grade games this year, most have played 7-8. Sean Rooney and James Andrew- who was in the NPL1 Team of the Week last week both came of the bench.

Looks like someone is still in a tantrum about the result and can’t except the fact that ravens only lost 4-2 against marconi, especially when 9 players of their 1st grade squad played in that fixture on wednesday night. https://www.facebook.com/GladesvilleRavensClub/posts/1969615549776180 Both head coaches of Marconi and of their 1st grade squad (Peter Tsekenis & Peter Papoythis) commented briefly on the way of how ravens played and they deserve the good wrap from both npl coaches.

It’ll be the highlight of your year..
