"got to say even though Tigers weren't a major threat kudos on them making the final for like Spirit they came from NPL2 grounding and are a well run small club from the Nth burbs up the road from Spirit so the area is producing/developing players."
That is good to see/hear. Nothing breeds success like investment at the grass roots of the game.
thanks mate noticing for its a/pyramid I dream despite the forever ongoing hurdles/resistance about it all.
For those out of state my ethnic parents settled in the northern syd burbs unlike the rest of fam settling south.
Nth burbs back in my young days our fam were one of the low ethnic % for it was full on anglo but football always had many clubs and a late comer to NPL let alone NSL which was Northern Spirit !
Even though we followed APIA and SU mind you due to our mixed blood of both the current Spirit is the carry on of the previous NSL Spirit so I have interest having gone to most NSL Spirit games with Poppa.
They are very well run and have worked hard finally making it in NPL currently And Tigers a late comer another good promising club having bought the Balmain TigersFC Div 1 license back in 02.
They have earnt promotion 3/4times now currently in NPL1 just under the APIA/SU's etcetc - I have watched players develop there as well last 15odd yrs.
Both clubs have syn pitch's x 2, healthy Womens Rep levels as well.
Councils have co invested with the clubs having pretty good facilites especially Spirit so yer good news storey Hillybilly55.
The sad storey talking this side of town was the destruction of Northbridgefc having worked their up to top flight NPL agreeing to the Bulls take their license and walk into NPL in turn thankyou very much idiots discarded all the locals who worked their arse's gaining promotion over so many years
