I only managed to see the Lightning u20's at Azzuri last week but they looked very strong, any comments about the 1sts?

michael boogaard would not be a bad person to get involved with central coast football - ex NSL player and brilliant coach

Lightning have a trial tomorrow against Wyoming at Budgiewoi, Reserves at 6, Firsts at 7.30.

 

[Omni]

Reserves (18s): 0-0 - 1 Red Card

Firsts: 2-2 - 1 Red Card (Smith?), 1 penalty each

Reserves were unlucky, tore Wyoming apart but they couldn't finish, Firsts, 2-2 is probably a fair reflection, were pretty fluid but just died towards the end, the red card didn't help.

Well I wouldn't say they 'tore' us apart. They were definately quicker, younger and fitter which opened a few holes at the back. Since Wyoming had only a couple of training sessions this season and this was their first trial game I would've expected the Lightning to have dominated the game more.

Nice work running the line Omni.

Yea I didn't expect you guys to do too well given it is the first trial, I thought you guys did better than I thought to be honest, that red card was freaking crazy though, he had a brain snap that kid. The firsts, hmm they definitely could have won, especially when they had the man advantage.

Thanks, I was pleased to keep up, first trial and I've got Ressies & PL Lightning and Wyoming.

This Friday at the Budgewoi "tournament" Lightning have The Entrance, Wyoming & Budgewoi in the other match.

Juniors play at Pluim on Saturday, no games this Sunday for obvious reasons.

I'm guessing, McAndrew, Porter, Trott & Simon/Mrdja???

 

[Jumping4Sydney]

I can't really see any of those players playing Super League, though it would be good to see as I watch it every weekend, though not on the Coast

 

[FFC Mariner]

Last season Trott, McAndrew, Porter, Boogard and Simon played for Lightning. Possibly Mrdja but I doubt it TBH

They are the official feeder club for CCM.

they must have been alright last year then. how did they go? I have heard McAndrew and Porter play U/20's though?

 

[Omni]

I'm pretty sure Mrdja has been told he has to if he wants a CCM contract next season

 

[skilbeck]

Give McAndrew a go at lightning, he plays in a position that we are overstocked in

 

[marinersman]

Has the first grade squad been finalised yet?

I've looked around but I can't find it anywhere. I would have thought three weeks out it would be all sorted by now.

Really looking forward to this season and getting to as many games at Puim as possible.
