Yes, warners Bay was very disappointing in the semi final.........it was probably a case of the team that was the fittest and most committed deserving a good win. City's lower grades lost both matches so they will be that much stronger in the Prelim without having to even out the ranks.
One thing with City is that they are tactically very good at this time of the year and they have to be very confident given their semi final form and the fact the remaining opposition (Cardiff and Terrigal) are both very beatable this year.
It was a pity that yesterdays matches were poorly supported by the local football community. The fact that there was only one Central Coast side playing all day (KV in the 18's) coupled with the $10 entry fee meant the crowd was poor and the atmosphere for the main game was bland to say the least.
KV tactically shut them down in 07 by a very good coach, most people gave them no chance of getting close to city but cutler had them primed and a better game plan. I still think this week will give us a better indication the three best sides are left in my opinion.
