Season 2- Pre-season Schedule and Fixtures

[Goughy]

The Cricket Web Football Association has secured a link with New Zealand Football to promote the game within CWLand and the region.

This link will be in the form of 3 games to be played in the pre-season.

1) Winners of CW Premiership versus Winners of New Zealand Football Championship.
This will be East Coast Fury versus Auckland City to be played at Kiwitea Street, Auckland. Originally Fury were supposed to play Asian Champs, Urawa Reds of Japan, but they are unavailable and in the efforts to build a partnership with NZ Football it was replaced by this fixture.

2) CW Under 20s versus NZ Under 20s
Under 20s is the youth format used in the region and this is an opportunity for younger players to get exposure to the international game. The game will be played in CWLand and CW U'20s will be captained by Håkon Mørk.

3) NZ versus CW.
This International friendly game will be played North Harbour Stadium, Auckland and will be CWLands biggest football challenge so far. A captain has yet to be decided.

Pre-Season Cup

In addition to those 3 games there will be the CW Pre-Season Cup. It will follow roughly the same format of last seasons Pre-season tournament.

Teams will be split into 2 groups. Each will play members of their own group home and away. The top team from each group will play in the final.

Group A
East Coast Fury
Northern Power
Southern Dynamo

Group B
Island Swell
Central United
Nixontown Nomads

more to come...

Looking forward to it. I bet we'll be royally sick of playing New Zealand in a year or so though.

Nah, we'll only be royally sick of playing them if we are losing to 'em, and we all know that won't happen

Even beating the same team is boring

 

[Johnners]

Even beating the same team is boring

Nah, not if it's the Kiwis

 

[Loony BoB]

While I really look forward to NZ vs. CW rivalry, I do agree that it shouldn't be overdone as one of the great things about football is it's so global.

[Loony BoB]

Are we in one of those weird situations where under 20's include 20 year olds?

 

[Goughy]

Are we in one of those weird situations where under 20's include 20 year olds?

Yeah. The NZ U20s side is taken directly off the NZ Football website and they will be including a number of 20 yr olds

 

[Goughy]

Due to the teamsheets not working in the teamsheet maker (due to an inknown error), all fixtures are postponed until the problem is resolved.

Please keep an eye on the threads to see if a solution is found and so we can get straight into the pre-season

EDIT- Looks like Ive hit on a solution but will take some time. Changed Teamsheets to be up later today

 

[Goughy]

Due to illness and issues (ie faulty teamsheets) the Central United vs Nixontown Nomads game scheduled for Matchday 4 has been swithed with the Island Swell vs Central United
game that was originally scheduled for Matchday 2.
