National Youth League Fixtures and Mariners youth team discussion

[Meerkat]

I wonder if the Mariners could move their kick off to 6pm?

Even if they did, it’s a 90 min drive…

Absolute disaster of a time and location.

Game clashes with:
- Mariners family day
- Mariners Academy 13s-18s who are at home to Olympic
- a chunk of local football

 

[Rising Sun]

Disregard ?

Also 20s kick off at 12pm (same venue)

Big slap for whoever didnt realise it was local GF weekends, academy GF. Does it show disdain for our academy and the local football community or just ineptitude?
Academy were always likely to be in the GF
Oh well, I cant get to Edensor so will stay home, ignore the family day and watch the game on the excellent NPL.tv

Shame it sounds like the Family Day was planned assuming we won the weekend before and the Academy games would have featured at CCS.

It was a big assumption that we would beat SGC - we took 1 point from 6 from them in the regular season and only pipped them for the title on goal difference. It was a 50-50 game at best. Sounds like we put all our chips on red and the ball dropped in black.

Yep. I do think the idea in theory was great.. and would have led to a cracker day.
However, i also think it was too big a risk and now it’s F’d up completely.
I’m with you unfortunately on skipping family day, for the same reason.. was going to try for the afternoon off work but NPL TV on my work laptop is going to be the better option.
Think it’s really unfortunate that literally nobody will benefit from this.. the lads won’t get the support they need and deserve in Western Sydney and neither will the boys at the stadium.
Also agree re the the grassroots finals / GF.. hubby was quick to fire up about that, remember ?
Aargh sorry guys. Appreciate you tried!!! ????

Kuzevski has eyes on clinching the double - Football NSW

After another successful season for the Central Coast Mariners academy, they go into this weekend’s League One Men’s grand final looking to claim the

We have just signed Joey's captain Miguel Di Pizio and his brother Gianni from WSW according to Aussie scout.
Rudan effect in full swing

Many going to the League One GF? It might just suit me to head along.

Have to be in Sydney for something in the morning and again that night so figured I'll duck over to the game during the day, feel bad for people missing out due to the family day but it is what it is

Me too re stuff to do in Sydney then staying overnight. Hoping to sneak off to the game if I can.

Maybe a local venue (Gosford Hotel or Leagues club) could be organised to put NPL.TV on one of their screens and everyone could gather there before going to the stadium...

Good idea. Don't need a youth league with the academy.

NPL is far tougher for them anyway. Be handy if in the NSD there was a ressies or u23s team for AL teams.

Apparently CCM approached Football NSW about hosting the Grand Final at CCS as part of the gala day and A-league friendly. A great opportunity to play the game on a great pitch with a decent crowd and atmosphere. We even offered to pay for a coach to bring the St George side to the game.
The offer was declined to play the game in Sydney on a synthetic pitch.

Nearly spot on. Had we won the semi final against St George, we would have been hosts and the grand final was locked in for CCS on family day. Would have been immense.
Unfortunately we didn’t get the result and thus STG won hosting rights. We did try and talk St George into hosting it up here but they declined (unsurprisingly). They were offered Lily’s and VSP by Football NSW but declined both as well in favour of Edensor.

A certain staff member may have jinxed it when they said “right I’ll call CCS to confirm the booking” right after Cresnar scored ??

Cristo would have got us through
