I have some agents out there doing a thankless task of watching their beloved football and also enjoying the food and drink. Obviously I cannot get to every ground as most are played at the same time so unless I was superman (not from that terrible movie) I would have a chance. So I shall post here the information that I receive.
I would like to thank all the people who take their time to do this for me. So let us start.
There was no food on offer down at Mandurah over the Easter Monday which was disappointing I am told. However there was the bar open for drinks which was not all doom and gloom but food to compliment your drink would have been appreciated. Besides non alcoholic beverages over the bar there was Nescafe coffee on offer which for the coffee connoisseurs would be a let down. But for me coffee is coffee (more of a tea man myself).

Agent's Reports Around The Grounds
Would like to thank my agents on the ground who are able to make it to games where I am physically unable to attend due to other commitments and being at other games at the same time. This game they were at the ECU Joondalup v Armadale game over the Easter weekend.
Burgers were 6 dollars with a quality beef patty, cheese and salad. Sounds like good value there actually, would be a decent size too giving over priced pub meals a run for their money. Beers were 5 dollars and the all important Corona index at 5 dollars. Spirits were 6 dollars, another great bargain to be had at ECU. From my reports by the agents the game wasn't all that awe inspiring but "Not at NPL standard" was what was passed onto my desk.
ECU ran out as 2-0 winners against Armadale, well done ECU.

Inglewood In Control Against Floreat
The NPL Western Australian Conference kicked off this weekend with Inglewood United hosting Floreat Athena under lights at Inglewood Stadium. It was great to get the new NPLWAU season under way after what felt like an eternity of waiting!
Inglewood did not really looked troubled by Floreat during the match with an occasional counter out wide proved to catch United on the hop at times. With level headed defending the hosts passed the ball out of danger and would switch to really apply the pressure on the visitors.
Floreat looked very vulnerable from set pieces and corners with Floreat having all hands on deck with a mad flurry of bodies to get the ball out after the numerous waves of attacking passages of play from Inglewood.
Floreat could not hold out forever after a gutsy 0-0 first half and conceded the first goal in the 60th minute. Tired bodies from the visitors resulted in 2 goals in the last 10 minutes of the game with Pritchard and O'Connell scoring in the 83rd and 88th minutes.
Gone are the days of chevaps in cups and burgers at Inglewood which is a real shame but it is how it is round here these days. The hamburgers ran out half way before half time which was a shame as there was a good crowd here, but I commend Inglewood for selling their hamburgers which are very good. However I ended up with an "Italian Hot-dog" which i think was just another way of just saying it is a hot-dog but with a gourmet sausage. Wasn't too bad but was just on the side of being a little bit too dry. perhaps I would charge at 4 dollars instead of the 50 if they were to be like that.
However the viewing experience once again at Inglewood was fantastic with drinks and food while watching some football with friends. Still cheaper and value for money than going to a run-of-the-mill Coles/Woolworths run pub/tavern that makes you feel the same no matter where you are. Here at Inglewood you feel like you are part of the community.
