The form of goalkeepers Luke Godfrey (Tweed) & Mitchell Pickford (Thistles) could be the major factor in determining who will win the Newton Denny Chapelle Championship Grand Final at Oakes Oval on Saturday.

The two NDC Championship heavy weights will go into the grand final with nothing between them as previous bragging rights were shared and the major semi-final went to penalties before Tweed gained the advantage.

Both Tweed and Lismore Thistles boast solid defensive lines, but the efforts of Godfrey and Pickford in saving penalties has not gone unnoticed.

Tweed will be at full strength, while Thistles will be without the suspended Mitchell Rees,after the defender was sent off last weekend. They do however share the same degree of confidence, Tweeds from having overcome Thistles in the major semi and Thistles from their solid come from behind win over Pointscore Champions Pottsville last Sunday.

The expected outcome is anticipated to be very close and penalties may well be on the cards.

The North v South battle will kick off at 6.45pm with a large crowd expected to cheer on their local heroes.

Football Far North Coast recognised the efforts of teams, players and outstanding volunteers at the annual awards night recently in front of a strong 300 + crowd.

Two highlights of the night were the award of Club Champion to Lismore Thistles who capped a remarkable year and to long serving Rovers secretary Jill Hepburn who was awarded the “Dedication to Football Award” for her outstanding contribution as a club volunteer…..More

Spectators, life members, committe and Workers FC players are all breathing a sigh of relief with their sucessful conclusion to the Premier League Play Off.

On the back of a 2 - 0 win over Alstonville FC the “Redmen” will again feature in the Premier League in 2008.

On a very cold and extremely wet Tuesday evening last week Workers controlled the tempo in a fairly dour affair grabbing two valuable goals, one in each half to Todd Gordon and Anthony Alvos.

Alstonville left nothing on the bench as they pushed to gain a foothold on the match but a resolute Workers defence kept the “Villa’s” strike force well under control.
