U.S 4 v 2 Karori Aces Karori park #2 12.30pm Sat 29th August 09

Last game of the season and what a beautiful day it was too warm & sunny ideal for playing football.

Shame we were playing at Karori park.

With 15 Stallions all eager to play in the last game of the season the trick would be trying to give everyone equal game time.

We got too the ground early and on inspecting the field found that one half was like a carpet, beautiful, the other down the middle was like mudflats in Manukau harbour, the sides not so bad but W.C.C hang your heads in shame, it hasn't really rained for long periods in 4 weeks, a joke in my opinion given the money spent revamping the ground.

Needless to say we took the good end to warm up with, had a penalty shoot out comp to determine well nothing really we just don't do drills in the Stallions.

With the team lining up as it was the week before, a real ref and Karori looking up for a good battle today the game began with U.S heading towards the shite end of the Park and the Aces towards the stream end .

Aces score early.
It would be fair to say the Aces started the brighter of the two teams, we seemed to take a while to get into the game and the Aces moved the ball around well.
Our defence was tested early they had a striker/winger who had a good burst of pace ,we got caught out twice with two nice through balls that split our defenders and were lucky to deal with the first attempt by the Aces but not the 2nd.
The Aces #10 getting in behind our back four and took a shot on goal that Brooks was unable to get near 1-0 Aces 7 mins

That spurred a bit of action out of U.S and we went on the attack moving the ball around we pushed forward using the width really well a looking to hold onto the football as much as possible probing away at the aces looking for an opening.


Stallions equalise
With the subs now rolling on and off in quick succession Panda found himself up front as a striker he got onto the end of a through ball from Lloyd I think, took the ball into the box and from the acutest of angles just outside the 6 yard box right hand side rifled a ball into the back of the net an absolute stunner one to savour 1-1 20mins (so happy with his effort he subbed off)


That was the start of the Stallions taking control we began to really dominate and move the ball around the park nicely sure the aces had their chances but i reckon we played the better football


Stallions take the lead
I think we got a free kick out on the right midway into the Aces part of the field which Paddy sent into the box there was a goal mouth scramble I think Aaron took a shot which was parried by the keeper or blocked and Lloyd got on the end of the ball hammering it into the net giving U.S the lead 2-1 30 mins

The game opened up a bit after that we began to hold onto the ball and move it around but in the Aces half of the field it was hard work with the pitch so crap you'd get stuck in the bogs trying to turn, the half would finish with U.S leading 2-1

2nd Half.
We were the team to start the brightest and with U.S kicking off our old faithful was put into action the tap and hoof to deep left field, only this time it worked well sort of, Gus ran his ass off kept the ball in play and took on the defence and we were given a corner kick which they cleared but the ploy worked.

The game plan from U.S was simple keep the ball in their end of the park and attack them, if we got stuck in our end of the field it would be difficult to defend due to the mud bath it had become.


The Aces equalise.
It was never going to be easy to keep the Aces penned in their own half and we found ourselves a number of times dealing with long balls sent deep and out wide mostly to the right hand side. one of these resulted in the Aces scoring, they picked up the ball out right cut across the field beating one of our defending players and curled one from 18 yards out past me then the despairing Ben Brooks to make the score 2-2 60 mins ?

Oh well it was a well taken goal you can't deny that.

We went back on the attack we pushed forward and the game really started to open up using the width really well and moving the ball around we were awarded a number of corner kicks


We take the lead again.
A corner out right was sent in by Gus, it was cleared out by the Aces, but it went straight back to Gus, he took the ball from just outside the 18yard box about nine yards from the goal line ran into four defenders which he beat with ease and hooked a left footer so hard into the back of the net it almost burst through the other side amazing solo effort goal of the off season I reckon (well maybe Pandas was better ) 3-2 70mins

It got all end to end after that we pushed forward they pushed forward, but we looked pretty comfortable with 20 mins left so we looked to enjoy the last minutes left in the season and moved some players around.


PENALTY!!!
Lloyd was having another awesome game in the midfield and he put this lovely ball through which split the aces defence much like they did to U.S for their first goal which Rauru ran onto perfectly going one on one with keeper he was brought down form behind from an Aces defender the ref no option but to award a penalty
Rauru stepped up and with no problem at all popped the ball to the back of the net 4-2 80mins


The Aces had no show of coming back now the game would finish 4-2 to the Stallions.

A great way to finish off what has been a terrific season all round for U.S and now leaves most with the fear of finding something else to do with their Saturdays it's a hell of a long off season

Fines etc

Pony, Stallion and MVP provoked a lot of discussion among those that were at the fine session. Fair to say that there were a lot of candidates for Stallion and the points, and two clear candidates for Pony.

Graham already revealed that we ended up voting Tangi as Stallion. After much discussion about whether chop leading to the goal was Gus or Joe's fault we ended up making Joe pony, mainly because of his post-match claims that it was all Gus's fault and he didn't want the Pony (on the other hand Gus was more heavily fined so go figure).

Tangi also got the three MVP points, two for Lloyd, and one for Hodges (despite the goal).

Best fines:

Jason - not having a fight
Joe - High fiving Rauru immediately after Rauru's cock grabbing celebration
Panda - showing up
Aaron - Kahu fine for running madly after the ball and then not being able to figure out where it had gone
Hodges - Worst goal. Ever. (this involved setting a new precedent for how much you get for having this honour)
Gus - nakedness (again)
Rauru - falling to his knees to pray to Jebus after his header miss
Rauru - claiming that their defender 'had his hands all over me' and 'if he wants to touch me he should do it properly'
Spencer - first Stallion ever to be forgotten from the fine session

Basically, despite having one of our best ever games, everyone was fined heavily. I have't added all the fines up, but its safe to say that everyone owes lots and you should come to the game next week ready to pay up. There were some big threats on Saturday night about what will happen to those that don't.

Stoked in the Valley

We arrived a Delaney Park, home of Stokes Valley and scene of their grade winning come-from-behind final day 3-2 victory over the Stallions, knowing that we would have to win 7-0 to take out top spot in our section of the cup. While that was out of reach, we were confident we could win and take out second place; we had some unfinished business after the aforementioned 5 goal thriller.

For the first time this season we were missing our defensive rock Corey, which was a concern given Stokes Valley's controlled passing game. There were also a number of supporters present, many of whom seemed convinced they were here to watch Stokes Valley's procession to the final. However, the game started well for us; while Stokes Valley probably had the greater possession and territory, the defense was solid, if occasionally stretched. The wide midfielders were quickly back to mark their opposites, which was necessary as Stokes Valley looked to move the ball to the corners.

However, in the first half it would be a story of who took their chances; and with two minutes to go before the half time whistle the names on the score sheet would be Rauru and Lloyd in quick succession.

They were clearly burnt by this, and were fired up at the start of the second half. We lost possession quickly from our kick off, but seemed to have things under control through Joe on the right. However, miscommunication with Gus who was looking to take the ball ended up with Gus in a screaming heap on the floor and the ball in the back of our net with less than a minute played; as comical a Stallions moment as there has ever been.

The comedy continued straight after the kickoff, as a poor first touch from Hodges, which was dribbling towards their goal, was hopelessly misjudged by their keeper to restore the 2 goal advantage. The ball was so weakly hit that there is serious doubt that it actually reached the back of the nest, and as for Hodges' post match claims that he 'put spin on it', well....

At this point Stokes Valley stepped up in their control, and there was a period of sometime where our goal came under a barrage of attack. To be fair, while their passing was as silky smooth as Div 7 gets, taking advantage of the extra man forward now they only had 3 at the back, they got very few shots away, and to the credit of the defence those they did unleash were generally from outside of the box and going nowhere. Our forays were limited to breakaways; and a superb break here by Panda down the right, which he finished after (finally) backing himself and smashing the ball past his marker and the keeper, in the process upping our lead to 4-1.

The final few minutes of the game sore the Stallions on the defence; Rauru brought himself back to midfield, and Lloyd seemingly the lone striker. However the final whistle came and went, and with it, Stokes Valleys hopes that victory in the final next week would be anything but Pyrrhic.

Stallion was deservedly awarded to Tangi for his outstanding work in central defense; although there were players all over the park that put in Stallion worthy performances. The Jo/Gus incident could not be overlooked in the awarding of the Pony. But what it comes down to was that, for me at least, it was a privilege to be a part of this, one of the finest Stallions wins of all time. And we have the Karori Aces next week to determine 3rd and 4th place. Bring it!

Fines vs Elite

Now, I'm not doing this cause I was in the points for a change, but with both finemasters piking on Saturday I had to step back into the role, have the book on me, and think that ben's been pretty crap in terms of posting fines - such a good way to have a chuckle at ourselves. Was a good night too - great to have Robin back and firing up at the fine session. Its fair to say perhaps a couple of drinks too many were imbibed. When we reconvened for the nix game the following day there was not too much interest in drinking ...

Anyways, a good win for the Stallions. It went a little like this:

Stallion - Aaron
Pony - Spencer - Family arrive just in time to see a monumental shank roll over the sideline, and have a good old family laugh at crap daddy. This including finger pointing and possibly tears (of embarrassment?).

MVPs:
3- Aaron
2 - Rauru
1 - Gus

Best fines:
Ben B - Ben throws short ball to Mike - never should that combination of names and words be uttered again.
Jason - Got sat on.
Jason - stepping up to take a free kick with the steely gaze - 'I do this all the time'-like. Umm last time we saw that face was before THAT penalty!Politely told that his services were not required.
Mike - The return of the Butch - a few very dodgy early moments.
Ben H - glorious defensive header - off one of our attacking corners.
Lloyd - Meh, played well - but didn't live up to marquee status.
Aaron - 'is it 6 minutes yet - I won't get fined if I sub now'.
Aaron - Shit celebration after talking it up all season.
Robin - the sell out uniform fine - yes, those who were not there - Robin played in sports shorts (admittedly pretty long ones).
Robin - Not quite the old Rob (perhaps you should have worn the old shorts).
Gus - Upsetting the marquee player.
Gus - Playing with shirt around shoulders - cue much hilarity and 'nudie man' from Spencer's kids.
Robin - the whitest knees ever seen on a football field.

Nice work

U.S 2 v 0 Wgtn Elite Nairnville pk 15th August 2.30pm

Two goals in the 2nd half were enough for The Stallions to take 3 points in the 2nd round of the "cup" series

The 1st half was pretty even throughout each side having chances i think we had the better of it though judging by the amount of corners we claimed and pressure we applied and how well we were defensively shutting them down early and not giving them room to shoot.

A nasty head clash between Ben Hodges and an elite player who came off worse for wear caused the half to come to a premature end the lost time to be made up in the 2nd half, the elite player was taken off to hospital for observation via an ambulance.

The 2nd half
It took 2mins and 7 seconds into the second half for the Stallions to take the lead Aaron drilling a ball into the net from within the 18 yard box to the amazement of the elite side and the ecstasy of the Stallions. 1-0 (47.07mins)

Elite were their own worst enemies for the 2nd they were caught offside about 20 yards into our half and the resulting free kick by Tangi ? went up the field bounced between the two central defenders for elite who then let Rauru run after it unchallenged for the easiest of tap ins giving U.S a 2-0 lead and left the elite defenders abusing me for their useless defending claiming Rauru was offside nobs 2-0 67minutes

They had their chances the best coming from a penalty they received after Tangi brought down their striker in front of goal the resulting penalty hit the left hand post at speed and cannoned out into the right hand side of the field where we cleared

after 52 mins of play in the 2nd half the game was over the Stallions victorious and Elite wondering about what might have been a top effort from everyone who played and it was great to see Nick White there supporting U.S along although he must be fined for not bringing his boots and calling a sub.

This week Stokes Valley @ Delaney #1 2.30pm

Elite Match report

At least they beat us to something this season - and got a match report up - here

Bit of frustration here I think - sure they could call us 'ponies' last year when they actually managed the odd win, now that we have done the treble on them we are 'donkey's' - sure.

A couple of odd things: apparently they dominated the first 20, one of their players totally 'wasted' his player down our left side - umm, can't remember that sorry. And worst of all they call Hodges 'one of their best players'. Obviously full of crap.

Until next season chumps ...

Lest we forget

Kick off of first half vs Elite. Rauru calls the old hit it straight down Hodges wing play. The Elite striker has seen this 1000 times before and charges at Rauru who hits it straight into his arse, Elite gets the ball, straight to the other end and almost scores after 8 seconds.

I propose that along with the Twinkle and Turtle this move should be banished from the Stallions playbook. Embarrassing. It should only be allowed to be pulled out at times of extreme irony (and perhaps in games of backyard cricket).

Ouch. Do you think we'll get a match report today or has this result kept Corey in bed for the day?

Lovely Day at Home

Wasn't Saturday's weather glorious!? Perfect for faffing around home, smelling daisies and scratching my arse. Thank goodness I wasn't needed to play dirty old football - what an inconvenience that would have been on an arse-scratching day like that. What's that? One sub? Cracked shins? A tired team? A 1-0 loss? [You'll have to just imagine my eyelid twitching spastically - it was too subtle a movement to capture on video].

looks like we might not have to give nick g the 'thanks, but no thanks' next season

Here's nick in the yf forum:

'I don't believe we (Island Bay) aren't good enough for Cap 1 (And we certainly aren't/haven't been struggling)

We have done alright in what was a very close league the whole way through. Other then the Dreamers who outplayed us twice, we matched every team in the grade. We drew nil nil with Marist, then lost 1 nil. And lost 1 nil to Olympic in a game where we had numerous chances and as their coach mentioned afterwards we probably should've won. We also beat Petone twice who sit fourth.

Of course the fact we came ninth means we didn't do great but we went through a rebuilding year with plenty of changes from the previous year so with a season under our belts I have no doubt we will mount a serious challenge for the title next year.'

Just joshing nick, congrats on making the step up, we have been keeping a close eye on your season, and have noticed a distinct drop in our fines. So you going to ditch us for twilight too?

U.S 0 v 1 Karori Magpies Nairnville #2 2.30pm 8th August 09

A hard fought but good natured game of football was decided by one solitary goal with the Karori Magpies edging out the Stallions 1-0 on a Nairnville park pitch which could do with some much needed TLC from the W.C.C.

Kicking off with 12 players the Stallions wanted to have fun, enjoy the last few games of the season, but also give a decent account of ourselves.We're a good side so going into the game we were confident of getting something out of the match.
Starting brightly we looked to move the ball around the park and did so reasonably well with most players getting touches on the ball and finding good options going forward.
The Magpies had their fair share of possession and used it to good effect also, but our defence was really stoic and made it extremely difficult for their strikers going forward most shots were taken from well outside the 18 yard box.

Their goal.
It was a bit of luck and individual talent that got the Magpies their goal, a ball into the box was flicked up in the air by their striker who turned the ball controlled it down again beating me then beating Jason and rifled a shot into the net. 1-0 35mins

Well taken but a bit poo from our perspective they didn't really do enough to warrant the goal leading up to it but you take what you get I guess.

The rest of the half was spent trying to peg the goal back but we'd go into the half 1-0 down

2nd half
Both teams started really well, both teams were looking to play good ball to feet and hoping to pierce either sides ridged defence.The game was beginning to open up with U.S having only one sub and Karori choosing not to role theirs on and off both teams began to tire and the game would go end to end.
Joe was forced out mid way through the 2nd half after sustaining a nasty shin injury as he went in for the ball against a Magpies player and came off second best.

They had a chance late in the game to make the score 2-0 but again some brilliant defending from all of U.S meant that we would end the game unlucky losers 1-0
A draw was probably a fair result but that's life

Next Weeks Draw

CAPITAL 7 BLACK:

Uni Stallions __ Wgtn United Elite __ Nairnville 2;

Karori Magpies __ Stokes Valley __ Wilton.

New Tui Billboard...

Well glad that's cleared things up...yea right.


At the end of last year it was agreed by clubs to have 8 team leagues and introduce a Cup Competition at the end of the completion of the leagues. The intention was still to try and have
18 games throughout the season.

The format of the Cup Competition was for each league to be split into 2 pools of 4 randomly drawn. It would be run over 4 weekends being a 3 weekend round robin and a finals weekend. With the number of cancellations we’ve had this season, it may be that there has to be a modified version of the Cup Competition. This could be a knock out cup over two weekends for example. Capital Football is commencing the Cup Competition for a number of leagues this weekend with the pools named Gold and Black

The following is our intention for running the cup competitions over the remainder of the season:-

Capital 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, and 15, and Masters 3 and 4
These grades are able to start this coming weekend. If there are no cancellations, there will be
3 weekends of Round Robin (8/9 August, 15/16 August, 22/23 August) with 29/30 August as the Finals Day (with 5/6 September as the back up Finals Day)

Capital 9, 10, 11 and Masters 1
If there are no cancellations this coming weekend, the teams in these grades will start their cup competition a week later. Again if there are no cancellations over the round robin period, there will be 3 weekends of Round Robin (15/16 August, 22/23 August, 29/30 August) and 5/6 September as the Finals Day.

Women’s Divisions have a round of catch up games this weekend. There is also a more pressing need to have the women finish on 29/30 August with Secondary Schools tournament week the following week.

The Cup Competition will be over three weekends 15/16 August, 22/23 August, and Finals on 29/30 August. The format will be a knockout competition within each league.

Each team will be randomly drawn to play another team just as in the Chatham/Women’s Knock out Cup. The first weekend (15/16) the winners will go to the Cup semis, the losers to the Plate semis, the next weekend (22/23) the winners will then go to the Cup Final and Plate Final. This will involve 4 teams on 29/30 August.

There are number of scenarios to be considered:

- one weekend out of the next four weeks cancelled
- two weekends cancelled
- three weekends cancelled
- all weekends cancelled - unlikely but given the winter so far not impossible

If all weekends are cancelled the situation is very clear - we have no more football to play.

If we end up with the next three weekends being cancelled there will be one weekend of the Cup Competition taking place on 29/30 August for all divisions and will simply be 1 v 2, 3 v 4, 5 v 6 and 7 v 8.

If we have only two weekends to complete the competition, it will become a knock out competition, split into top 4 and bottom 4.
1 v 4 and 2 v 3, winners through to Cup Finals, losers to Plate Final. Similarly 5 v 6 and 7 v 8

Finally if we only have one weekend cancelled, the Cup Competition will run over three weekends and the format will run the same as the Women’s teams.

This gives an idea of how Capital Football intends to proceed. However, this will have to be judged after each weekend and whether there have been any cancellations. We will keep you posted on this.

U.S 2 v 3 Stokes Valley Delaney pk #2 01.08.09 2.30pm

Five minutes of poor play by the Stallions late in the 2nd half saw Stokes Valley edge out a fiery and spiteful game 3-2 in the final div 7 game of the regular season.

1st half

We kicked off but they had U.S camped in our own half for the early periods of the game, we defended really well while they were struggling to get their act together, the pressure was all on them, they needed a win to claim the div 7 title so we wanted to make it as hard as possible for them, we began to find our feet moving the ball relatively well around the park and after absorbing the pressure we were the first to get points on the board.

1st goal

We were awarded a corner (that's about all we'd get awarded by the ref all day)
Rauru took it from the left hand side of goal, I was standing in front of the keeper on the line blocking his view as was one of the Stokes Valley defenders, Rauru curls the ball in and I leap up to try to nod the ball into the goal it goes just over my head and Rauru's ball curls beautifully into the back of the right hand corner the keeper never saw it, a tremendous goal and put the Stallions up to a shock 1-0 lead after 10mins

That meant more pressure for Valley and the were letting it get to them,they were getting forward really well but our full backs notably Graham who was having a Stallion like performance and butch combined with the wide midfielder's of Joe and Spencer were doing really well at forcing them out wide and into silly mistakes.

2nd goal

We got another corner same side taken again by Rauru, same set up I was on the keeper, as Rauru sends the ball in the keeper shoves me out of his way I'm pushed to just outside the 6 yard box the ball from memory was parried out and my dipping head nodded the ball back between a couple of Valley players and the goalie into the net giving U.S a 2-0 lead 15mins gone

We made a few changes after that goal with rolling subs it allowed Robin to come into the game for his first start of the season and Tangi to make his first appearance since the Elite game some weeks earlier.

Their 1st
Valley were desperate to get back into the game and after some pressure on U.S they were awarded a couple of corners, one the ball was delivered into our box and cleared out well although not so well as it was picked up by a valley player out on the right hand side of goal and from about 25 yards rifled a ball at lightening speed just over my head and through the hands of a dispairng Ben Brooks to get the valley back in the game with a great goal and plenty of time to go 2-1 30mins

The rest of the half as did most of it really would carry on with both sides trying to play neat football ,although they really do have some whinging mo fo's that #16 skins and gloves wearing nob end, man I had great fun dishing back the verbal abuse on that moaning git and his mate #9
they turned up thinking they'd won the game already, cocks.
I'm not taking an angry man either, I was just giving it back both barrels, that shut him up almost every time, then he tried it on with a few more of U.S Panda was probably the last person you'd want to take on.

Anyway halftime 2-1, we were still in this.

2nd Half

They kicked off and we spent the first 15 -20 minutes on the front foot, we got forward well we were defending strong plus we put pressure on them and they were putting a bit of pressure on themselves,we were awarded a couple of corners and were unlucky not to nick a goal here and there but we just couldn't break them down.

We began to drop away a bit the last 25 minutes and a silly errors or options caused U.S to gift the game back to Stokes Valley

Their 2nd

They had made a foray down our left flank, Gus was playing left back and I missed the crucial moment, but, he tried to take the Valley player on 5 yards off the goal line 5 yards in from touch the Valley player gets the ball puts it into the box and it goes past a diving Ben Brooks to an unmarked played who stuffs it into the net 2-2 70mins

really poor goal to give to say the least but heads up were still in this game

Their 3rd

See it happened so quickly, again we were put under some pressure, Panda had the ball at the top of our 18 yard box and was forced back to try to get the ball away but he couldn't get a clean hoof on it the ball pin balled around a bit then a Valley player latched onto it and sent them into the lead 3-2 75 minutes gone

The Stallions beginning to fall apart at the back.

The game would carry on and began to get more feisty and verbal as the valley side tried to hold on while we tried to get an equaliser their #16 was at it again with his mouth so more verbals were had between him, me and Jason who waded into the argument late on in the game.

With 10 or so minutes still to go and U.S now piling on the pressure to get an equaliser, we pushed forward and won a corner, Jason went up from defence to try to help out and was so unlucky, the ball ended up at his feet and his shot had a bit too much on it going well over the bar.

Retreating back Jason and their #16 had a few words which looked to be quite pleasant until the Valley player got upset at having Jason through his shoulder around him and rub his head with his hand (you know the father and son type head rub) the Valley player tried to take a swing along with another player as I held the two of them back the rest of the teams came together and to diffuse the situation and make it impossible for U.S to draw the game the Valley ref blew the final whistle with some 5-10 minutes still remaining.
We were shafted from that perspective but I knew we were going to have a tough day of it, they would do anything to win that game at any cost.

Stokes Valley winning 3-2 and claiming the div 7 title at the same time

See you in the cup.
