Semi Pro Poddy

Yep it's another week and another win for Avondale, racing away at the top. While on a spooky foggy Friday some goalkeeping howlers would keep us guessing at the bottom of the table. We chat Bran's shitty kit and all of the NPLW action aswell as some cup ties to warm the cockles of your heart. 

Yep Avondale win again and take a 5 point lead at the top. Souths are now dropping down the table faster than we can accurately describe. All games had 4 or more goals this round which makes it bloody entertaining if you're one of those people. Heaps of other football stuff happens including the NPLW and the FFA Cup. 

Yep another week of ridiculous and impossible to tip fixtures to tip which means it isn't our fault that we suck at tipping! Honestly though, big results across the board and we take a look at all of them in depth. The NPL Womens competition features some cracking late drama and we look at all the cups. 

Yep we got another lockdown, seems to happen a lot since this podcast started. We have however returned to football in Victoria and what a round we had.
