jw1739 Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) In case you missed it in the avalanche of club news on the club website...City beat Victory 4-2 in NPL3 on Sunday. There's a video of our four goals on the website. Doesn't say who played, scored, or where it was played, but it was actually played at the Parade College Soccer Ground in Bundoora. Have a look - nice pitch and small grandstand. I haven't found our NPL fixtures, results or league table on our website yet. I think members at least would be interested in this sort of thing. Worth an email IMO. Edited March 29, 2022 by jw1739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Anyone know where the fixture list is? I'd like to spend my winter Saturdays following our youngsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think KeepUp is poor then following the NPL is even harder. Try https://au.soccerway.com/national/australia/victoria-npl-3/2022/regular-season/r66037/ Actually gives the fixture week by week, KO times and venues, and even has results! Wow! Would help, wouldn't it, if the club web-site could have on its home page the next home matches for all its teams? FMD it's not rocket science. Might help raise interest in the club to find out that there's a match close to home you could easily go and watch now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommykins Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Mehmet Durakovic's (he who oversaw one of the more hilariously bad patches for Victory) son has scored for us in the youth league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find any information about the NPL on the club's website - squad, results, fixture, ladder... FMD I thought this APL thing was supposed to allow clubs to run their own websites that would mean something to the club's fans. Instead the website is worse than ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, I was looking at the senior squad as listed on the club site yesterday and I saw the name Arion Sulemani - not known to me at all - and he scored twice in the recent 5-0 win over Springvale. So my squad list is out-of-date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Went to watch them in Ballarat today. Lots of attacking threat, but also organisation and resilience. This is very much a *team*. I counted five today, and can only assume the second Caputo goal didn't stand. They are well worth watching and there's a lot of potential coming through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted June 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Here are the details of the match - hat-trick to Max Caputo. What I find interesting is the names of the team's support staff - so much about "our club" that we don't know about unless we are "on the inside."

Second goal was variously credited to Valadon and Caputo. I was buying snags at the time so I can't verify... Caputo's two second half goals both owed a lot to Moonib Adus playing left wing. Got brought down for the penalty and then got in a cross from the byline after a mazy run, which was on a plate for Caputo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Have a look at the highlights of the 2-1 win over North Sunshine up on the club twitter. Who is the kid on the left wing? One dribble is worthy of Mo Salah in the EPL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommykins Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Without having seen the highlights, it was most certainly Moonib Adus - the kid seems to have the ball glued to this feet half the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Adus set up two against Ballarat and scored the equaliser against Geelong. He's quite a talent. But there's quite a few talents in this youth side... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 It's gone uncommented on here, but our youth squad gaining promotion from NPL3 is a hell of an achievement. To put this into perspective: - they are up with three games still to play - they are ten points clear of Victory in third - they are doing this with several key players injured or now promoted to the first team squad - a fringe player, another winger, was brought into the team on Saturday and scored - next week they effectively play the title decider against the second place side We have one hell of a youth set up going on. Watch these players, not only are several of them knocking on the door of the first team, but in there is sure to be a future Socceroo or two. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommykins Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Also, NPL3 was a bit of a strange league this year, from what I saw (which was only our games, to be fair) there was a fair bit of variability with some bang average teams, but in saying that I think if we keep about the same standard we're likely to see us do very well in NPL2 next year, which is also brilliant news as it's another source of differentiation for the club as Victory and Western will both be in NPL3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPL 2 next season, which is a great achievement. I really hope that in the future we can see some of these lads as regulars in our A-League side alongside some quality imports.

NPL3 will probably vary in quality over the next few years as there a few teams which should be in there (Beaumaris, Mornington, Essendon Royals and George Cross) that will get there in the next few years and a few teams which probably shouldn't be there (Whittlesea and Ballarat) - whereas NPL2 is probably a bit more settled in terms of the teams that are in there (with the exception of the Goulburn Valley Suns, which are a well intentioned team, but my god do they finish last a lot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
