Crusader, you've raised two very different issues there, neither of which are relevant to this thread. But I'm sure you're not the only person who is thinking along those lines, so here goes: Cup - with 69 (or now 68) teams, something had to give. 64 teams is the perfect number. Is it really that un...

I predict that Unley will not win division 2B, as they don't have a team in that division this season!

Haha, thank you. The fixtures are never perfect but if some people are happy then that's a good start. The vast majority of clubs should have all their teams playing at home on the same day almost every time this year, and they should all be at the same away venue quite regularly too. That was mainl...

The Friday night games are necessary in most cases because numerous clubs' home grounds are unavailable in the first round of the cup. In terms of some teams not being included in the cup, we have 69 teams and to lower the number the bottom team from each club with 5 or 6 teams was omitted. There ar...

Whatever helps you sleep at night, Cadenza. PAOC were effectively taken over, which is a bit dfferent to a merger. Your club had been in decline for years, with a lack of organisers and an inability to attract soccer players who attended Prince Alfred College. You finished bottom of division 2A last...

Hellas, the situation you described was how things had been decided at the CSL plenary meeting in early February. But unfortunately the merger between Scotch and last year's PAOC Japenese contingent is no longer taking place. That group may be joining up with Uni SA instead, but that is not confirme...

Mt Barker were the club which put the idea forward of them going into 2A/2B as well as 1A/1B. They said they would prefer that to divisions 3 and 4. I'm not 100% sure why. Other clubs were asked at the meeting if they were interested in that option and none were. Personally I wasn't in favour of the...

Mt Barker are in for a tough time regardess of how they now configure their teams. Div 1B is massively tougher than div 2B and is tougher than div 3 also, so if Mt Barker put their 2nd best team in div 2A then their team in div 1B is likely to struggle. However they approach it, it will really test ...

As stated above, the draft divisions will be discussed at tonight's meeting and are by no means final. Potentially one or two more new clubs now look like they will apply to join the CSL, in addition to Thebarton, so I think the divisions will have to change from the inital draft. In relation to the...

For anyone who may be interested, the SA Amateur Championships are being held this Saturday & Sunday (5th and 6th of October) at Burton. Games will be 80 minutes long and interchange will be permitted. Each club is restricted to a squad of 18 players for the tournament. The details of the games ...
