If you're suggesting I am slack..............you are most welcome to help out on the site to improve it.............I've sent you a private message, rather than sledge you on this fine forum

So instead of "making a stand against the HFL" by disadvantaging the individual, why don't you actually "make a stand" and write an article on how you think the HFL are doing the wrong thing and your solutions and post that up on your site? Surely it would be better than being petty and leaving out the goal kickers from the league.

Sledge away c69!

I agree with you, although a staggering feat to kick 150 goals in a season, when 90+ goals come from just 4 games it is a bit unfair to compare these figures against someone who has had to truely compete every week for their goal tally.

And to only not include goals against Sedan Cambrai or Callington really wouldn't help the situation.

By not honouring the Country Division goal tally shows the HFL that people outside of our league really don't think that it is a respectable competition at all.

Because "The Gimp" I bloody well don't want to!!
I'll leave that to the experts of the League who, like yourself are largely annonymous and all seem to be in this forum. You are invited to send copy on the topic to me to post on the site if I reckon it's suitable.
There are 24 other Leagues going on at the same time, I am busy enough with the site and I can assure I don't do the site for the money I get from it.
If you'd prefer I finish doing the site and let you all wander through Sporting Pulse then from 2012, then I can quite easily do that.

Kangy Vs Sedan - Might be a close one going on previous three weeks of Kangys form, but i think they will get up at home.
Meadows Vs Kersbrook - Kersbrook by 5 Goals
Nairne B Vs Macclesfield - Nairne in a Close on again.

Game of the round would be Birdwood Vs Echunga - I think Echunga may just get the win at home, Birdwood hasnt really had a challenge yet this year so will be interesting to see how they respond.


Would agree with your top 4 tips. I'd suggest Kangy will win cause they have a bit more class and bigger bodies, but wouldn't surprise me either way.

Will be a cracker at Echunga Park... It's true we haven't really had a hard hit out on a Saturday yet but all very excited about this week and measuring ourselves against what would seem like the benchmark of Country Division.
Will be rainy on Saturday, who would people suggest that would aid?

Id say itll hurt the Dees if I had to choose. They love to play the running game and if its wet perhaps Birdwoods bigger bodies might be able to slow them down.

The wet weather is going to effect the handling of the ball more than the speed by foot imo. Demon park is looking the best i have ever seen it and will hold up ferm in the wet today. Which team is able to handle the ball cleanly and deliver it well in the wet will be the question. Promise you, you will still see plenty of run out of the dee's today :)

The impact umpire done the U17's top of the table clash with Mick "Mad Dog" Taylor. Heard Mad Dog wanted a closer look at SJ, before a neighbouring league gives him an elevated opportunity.

The result would have surprised a few. Birdwood dropping down from Central Division and boasting a stronger side this year still couldn't beat the Deez.

It certainly was a cracker game. I reckon the lead changed about 8 times in the last quarter but full credit to Echunga, they finished off the game the best with a couple of goals to take the win. We've only got ourselves to blame as we had plenty of chances to kick away but just couldn't get it through the big sticks. Echunga were much more efficient in their forward line.
Was def one of the best country games I've seen for a while - both very evenly matched and I we'll be looking forward to the 2nd round when we host the Demons at the veledrome!

Which players would you say makes Birdwood a stronger side this year? They did lose Scott Friend didn't they?
