Charity Plate postponed


The third annual Central Coast Charity Plate, scheduled for this Saturday, 9 June, has been postponed due to inclement weather. The match will be re-scheduled at a later date, which will be advised in due course.

The Mariners’ next trial match is against NSW Division 1 side Spirit FC at Christie Park next Wednesday, 13 June. Kick off is at 7.45pm.

Spirit FC have met the Mariners on two occasions previously and were the Central Coast’s first ever competitive opponents, having hosted the Mariners for their inaugural trial match on 30 March, 2005 – a match that was won 3-0 by the visitors.


The Mariners again travelled to Spirit FC’s Christie Park home in 2006, where they recorded another comprehensive win – 4-1, with three goals coming from 2006/07 Mariners Golden Boot winner Adam Kwasnik.


The Mariners Academy squad for 17 and 18-year-olds will make their first competitive appearance in the lead up to the main game, when they take on Spirit FC’s youth selection in a curtain raiser fixture that will kick off at 5.30pm.

Following the Mariners’ visit to Christie Park, Lawrie McKinna’s charges will face NSW Premier League side Manly United at Cromer Park on Tuesday, 19 June. Kick off is at 7pm.



Mariners attacker John Hutchinson and captain Alex Wilkinson both have experience with the north shore club, having worn Manly colours as recently as 2005.


The Mariners have encountered Manly United once previously – playing out a 3-3 draw at Cromer Park on the eve of their Club World Championships qualification campaign in April 2005.


Finally, the Mariners will travel to the nation’s capital for the first time in their short history to take on ACT Premier League favourites Belconnen United on Saturday, 30 June. Kick off is at 5.30pm.



Mariners Memberships for the Hyundai A-League 2007/08 season are now available for purchase online at www.ccmariners.com.au, or from Rebel Sports outlets at Erina and Tuggerah.

....and if this weather keeps up in both Sydney and the Central Coast, there's a chance the Trial on the 13th June may end up canned too.

Looks like weather has struck again and this Wednesday's match will more than likely be called off

Bloody weather is messing up our pre-season lol
