Bayside Pre-Season Tournament

What an awesome start to the season guys. Ressies unfortunately went down 3-1, in a game they absolutely dominated, and conceded two late goals, but definitly showed the signs that Coach Silvester was wanting to see.

First grade however won 2-1. Two goals to the mercurial Clifford O-Grady were well worked and well deserved. Considering Bayside are talking themselves up for Promotion, have stolen 3 of our great players from last year, and have an experienced coach with unmatched resources in Premier Division two, shows that money and poaching players will just not get you a good team.

Given our ground was under heavy repair, limiting the opportunities to play large sized games, and that this was our first hit out with many new faces, there are good signs for a successful season at 'the piney'.

Great first hit out last night good signs for the season for both teams!

Good job with getting the website up and going. Hopefully some good banter this year on the forum. Well in Hawk

As much fun as a weekend on the goldcoast was, it just doesn't compare to how good that must have felt at the weekend.

Well done boys. A good season ahead.

rumours abound that Mo, Pablo, and Graham are all looking for returns to KPR after Bayside went down in the pre-seaon friendly are unconfirmed but highly amusing.

KPR looking to receive their first bit of silverwear this season with the Bayside Invitation Pre-Season Tournament as they are now joint favourites.

You'd have to think that Pablo would only grab a spot on the bench if the match report is anything to go by. Unless he is handy with a pair of gloves on and diving around in an Arty Raptis styley.

Is the match going to be put onto DVD and be made available at all good stores?

Good to see the website & forum back up and running, nice work Hawk! Look forward to plenty of good banter throughout the season.

You might have to remove your eye patch though elPresidente as I wouldn't say the Reserves dominated, I thought a draw would have been a fair result in the end. Both sides had similar chances, unfortunately they took theirs but we didn't take ours. Good signs though for our first real hit out of pre-season, particularly given we've only touched the ball at training for about a total of 30 mins so far!

I wouldn't be a communist dictator of a president if I didnt have an eyepatch now would I?

I think we thoroughly dominated, with Togers potentially bagging 5 goals, and Wattsy another 2. I take the blame for their misses as we have had the goal mouths sectioned off.

I think we'll be more than fine this year, if we can manage injuries and time away, both teams will be pushing for top 4 spots.

Hawk 5 is a bit too many should have had 3. Remember it's big cat chasing down long balls i'm not as quick as wattsy or as fit every ball chased equals 4 to 5 mins of recovery time.

Plenty of time staying after training tonight doing shooting training is needed though. After the poor shooting on display Logan now has the coveted yellow leaders jersey (no. 9 shirt) for Friday nights game.

Good to see you have the eye patch on though

Match report is now up for reserves.
