Oz’s lifetime of love and passion for Maitland Football Club

2022-01-28T13:02:37+11:00

For lifelong local Paul Osland, or 'Oz' as he is affectionately known, Maitland Football Club is a club he was born into, and he hasn't left since. Mr Osland is considered by many to be one of the back bones of Maitland Football Club, having held just about every role in the club through the years whether it was groundskeeper, cleaner, treasurer or president. "I feel like I've been born into Maitland Football Club," he said. "One of the founders of the club was an uncle who I was close [...]

MAITLAND Magpies star Ryan Clarke admits he has found himself waking like a 10-year-old thinking about the FFA Cup Round of 32 clash against Central Coast Mariners. "There's a real sort of buzz around all the boys in the dressing room. We're excited is very much an understatement," Clarke said this week during a media call at the Maitland Sportsground." While he has travelled the world and has a successful real estate business career, Clarke is relishing his chance to embrace the Magic of the Cup. "I feel like a [...]

Magpies plot upset

2021-05-06T10:33:47+10:00

MAITLAND goalkeeper Matt Trott admitted to having some mixed emotions when the Magpies drew his former club Central Coast Mariners for their debut in the FFA Cup round of 32. Trott, 34, spent two sea- sons with the Mariners, making six appearances in the A-League, before leaving in 2008. His last match was as back-up keeper in their grand final loss to Newcastle. Since then, the Central Coast product has ridden the highs and lows of the club. "I grew up on the Central Coast and I'm still a fan," [...]

Maitland’s Minor Premiership Hopes Alive

2021-05-06T10:26:23+10:00

THE Maitland Magpies secured all three points in an unconvincing 3-2 win against Lake Macquarie at Cooks Square Park on Friday night. There was a collective sense of relief when the referee's whistle ended a disappointing second half and Maitland can now concentrate fully on their historic round of 32 FFA Cup tie against Central Coast Mariners on Wednesday night. There are less than 100 grandstand seats left at the Maitland Sportsground but plenty of general admission available. Maitland were fully in control at half-time with a clever goal to [...]

CARL Thornton knows that when he walks out onto the Maitland Sportsground as skipper of the Maitland Magpies in Wednesday night's FFA Cup tie against Central Coast Mariners he and his teammates will be bringing to fruition the dreams and hard work of everyone involved at the club.

Eagles biggest test of Maitland’s Title Mettle

2021-05-06T10:01:05+10:00

THE Magpies will learn on Saturday if they can replace the Eagles as the highest flying bird in Hunter football. The battle between the fourth-placed Maitland and top of the table Edgeworth could well decide the minor premiership for season 2019 and grand final favouritism. "Edgy has won the minor premiership four years in a row, they will be up for what really is the minor premiership game," Magpies coach Mick Bolch said this week. "If we beat them we go two points behind with three games in hand and [...]

Magpies Steamroll Blues 3-0

2021-05-06T09:54:11+10:00

Shooting from 20 metres, Thompson launched into the shot and for once Archbold was caught flat footed. Bolch said he was delighted with performances across the park. "Clarkey was an X-factor again up in the front third," he said. "Great work by Ready for the second goal after great lead up work by Clarkey. "We're starting to get full strength back now. You look at the bench today, we had Matt Thompson, Alex Read, Tommy Duggan. I thought the balance of the side was a lot better today." Bolch said [...]

THE Maitland Magpies showed off their NPL title credentials with an emphatic 3-0 win against Charlestown City Blues at Cooks Square Park on Sunday. The Magpies turned on the after-burner, after a scoreless first half, led by man of the match Jimmy Thompson and the irrepressible Ryan Clarke returning from a rib injury. The win lifts Maitland to fourth on the NPL table with 27, five points behind competition leaders Edgeworth but with three games in hand.
