Field assignments for this weekend have now been update. Templeton, Lyttelton and Nunweek Park have also been added to the Playing Fields page to provide you all with easy directions.

Best of luck to all!

Welcome to the half-way point of the 2010 season. There’ll be a few tired faces on the pitch over the next few weeks as the World Cup draws keen fans from their slumber to watch the games live from South Africa. I admit – my TV was nearly sprayed with weetbix watching England struggle against USA this morning…

We’re now 5 rounds in and the divisions are shaping up to show us the likely candidates to take home a trophy in 2½ months. In the 1sts we’ve got the Cherubs holding onto their lead. But they’ll need to hang tight as only a win stands between them and the current league champions, South City United 1sts. G-Force also stand strong alongside SCU seperated only by goal difference.

Division 2 meanwhile has a wide spread of points. New comers, One Way Jesus FC, are undefeated at the top and look safe, even with a game in hand. At the other end of the spectrum The Faith Warriors struggle to find their form and put points on the table. Maybe they’ll follow the pattern they set last season and finish with 5 solid wins? Hornby, KCC, Sino, Spreydon and Nessi are all josling for space in between with only a few points seperating them all.

Navs United continue to hold onto their lead in division 3 but South City United 2nds are closing the gap. The Warriors, Strikers, Chch North and Hornby 2nd are also only a win away from the top two positions. Chasing up the rear, Vatican City Rovers and La Vida Life Force scramble for points.

Due to poor ground conditions, it’s likely we won’t have access to Riccarton High School this season. Mainland Football are at capacity for Saturday mornings as well. So we’ll be trying to fill in fields where we can. From next year we will be working closer with Mainland Football for field availability. To ease congestion our kick-off times will be moved to 12:30pm. There’ll be more news on our plans for 2011 soon.

A very late update this week, but only affecting a few. Due to the poor ground conditions we still have partial closures on CCC fields. To those playing at school grounds in particular, please be mindful of any mud you leave behind and park your cars only on sealed surfaces.

We have a game scheduled at Lyttelton and an option of Templeton this week. To find the Lyttelton pitch, take a right coming out of the tunnel and then your first left onto Godley Qy. You’ll find the pitch at the bottom of the hill.

Templeton Domain can be found on Kirk Road, which is your first right after passing the Cookie Time factory on Main South Road.

Best of luck this weekend!

We’ve just had word from CCC that all fields are closed this weekend due to the adverse weather we’ve had the last few days.  All catch-up games will be rescheduled after Round 5.

The fields have been allocated for this weekend.

Also a reminder that the next round falls on Queen’s Birthday weekend. We find there is usually one or two teams away over the long weekend. So there is an opportunity now to reschedule your game for next weekend. Just give us notice of the change as early as possible so we can assign fields.

Best of luck to all playing this weekend.

The draw has been updated with playing fields for this weekend. We’ve two games scheduled at Ray Blank park which has not been used by the league previously. Field numbers should be marked on the posts.  Please follow this link for a map.

Best of luck to everyone competing… and don’t forget to by your Mum something pretty for Sunday!

The 2010 season is off to a flying start with round 1 and 2 being played back to back. Almost immediately we see a pattern forming on the in division 1 and 3. Surprisingly it’s a reversal of fortunes with the Cherubs and Navs leading their peers respectively. In 2009 both these teams struggled, yet two weeks in and they’re taking the league by the horns.

Let’s see if they can pull it off with just 8 rounds until someone lifts the trophies again.

The draw has been updated with fields for tomorrow’s matches.

There are 2 matches playing at South Hagley Park this weekend. These fields are located near the old Deans Ave/Blenheim Road round-a-bout where the sevens tournament was held last year. You will find the goal posts at South Hagley are marked (i.e. S2 = No. 2 Senior Ground).

Also a reminder to everyone to look after the grounds that we are playing on this week. Please remember to take your rubbish with you when you leave and don’t leave mud on the footpaths.

I wish you all a safe and successful start.

The Vatican City Rovers are moving to division 3. So the draw for division 2 and 3 has received a minor update. Unfortunately this means teams in division 2 will have at least one bye this season.

The playing fields will be updated Friday morning when we receive confirmation from Mainland Football.
