With the change in NEW FM rules, Singleton offered the stars to our kids, and 3/4 of the team left for down the hill, assuming they're going to get something better.
We convinced a bunch of locals players and newbies to register for a 14/15's team, and I had to obviously grade them lower as they would probably get smacked in the same division this season.

Singleton however, came 6th in B's, took the majority of the team that won a title, and then registered them 2 gradings lower! So now they're playing in 15D!
Obviously just out for the easy wins.

You know there is a 15's comp in NewFM right? I would guess the D's team you're referring to above is their 2nd 15's team.

Our main ground with good drainage is struggling, our top ground is a swamp. Nothing is drying out.

Would anyone be so kind as to post up the teams in each grade, or PM me?

Stupid playing a team from your own club and ridiculous going up 2 divs without winning anything!

It is all a bit ****ed, teams do nominate to the associations as to what grade they want to be in and the associations should be looking at how well these players really went the year before. Also comes down to how much influence they have over the associations as well. I've seen teams smash it year after year in the same grade yet still remain in that grade while teams that struggled get pushed up one or two grades despite the club asking to be in the lower grade.

Despite those boys taken into Singleton potentially being in the NewFM league U15 comp there are certainly some teams just going for the easy win, the associations should look at it properly and bump these teams up even if they are nominating for these lower grades

Any idea how likely these are to change?

Seems to be more teams in our grade this year than there normally is - which is a good thing - means more games!

Yep, got the Sports TG one.

What did you search? I went to the "Competition" search and put in Interdistrict AA but only found 2016 info.

I searched in association - start typing in Newcastle, and it should come up with 'Newcastle, Hunter Valley and Macquarie Football Competitions'.

What would your clubs thoughts be if another club booked your ground through council to train on during the weeknights that you didn't use them?

I think it's a poor effort and a sneaky way to preserve their own ground whilst wrecking another ground as they are setting up goals and training inside 18 yard boxes etc..

Honestly it shouldn't be happening.

Should name and shame as they deserve it.

We have had several All Age teams just turn up and train on ours becaus theirs was closed. They get offended when asked to leave.

But on your point. If clubs don't have the capacity to accomodate teams training, maybe they have too many teams. If it's just about preserving fields, poor form.

Can you fence off the 18 yard box to preserve it?

Fortunately for us, all bookings come through the club, not Council.

Bookings through the clubs would definitely be the ideal situation! An NPL with four teams should be able to be accommodated on their own ground I reckon

We fence off our 18 yard boxes anyway but last night they pulled that down, set up the nets and started shooting lol

Will be interested to see what council have to say about it

What do clubs do tomorrow? Cancel games to save the fields for the winter months even if playable? Or play games and wreck fields? Interested to hear clubs thoughts

Redhead = play. Season well underway and it is short. Do all we can to get games on. (Played tonight and it did not stop raining, field quite squelchy but plan is games tomorrow)

Being early in the season we cancelled. We have this year been putting a lot of $$$$ into our fields and I don't see any reason to turn it into a dirt field so early in the season. If it were round 10 it might be different. I actually think next season will be when we see a big improvement in our pitch, but it's already much better than it has been in years.

The women tomorrow may just get moved to the top ground depending on how much rain we get today.

Not many grounds out today though.

I was supposed to play at Dudley seniors, it's off. I wouldn't want to wreck their surface either. One of the best around.

This past week an All Age team has been caught using unregistered players and has subsequently been removed from the competition and a fine issued to the Club.

ok who was it?

Bet this wasnt the only team though

Email from Macquarie said one team caught using 3 unregistered players.

Last season, 5 teams caught.

I suspect there will be more by seasons end as they are cracking down on it. Should be easy enough to find out who by checking the draws and results.

Yeah I heard the same thing. I played in AA/N last season which both Dudley and Kahibah got kicked out of, so for them to move to another club then pull the same shit again in crazy.

Newcastle is a small town, with a football community where a lot of people know everyone. So the moment you're using unregistered players, particularly from higher divisions, you're playing with fire.

Particularly in finals series like old pal from maitland and his mates a few years back, covered extensively in the herald.

My bad!!

As for how, one of their games had a club ref and the club ref knew one of the players playing for Belmont but when he checked the teamsheet that blokes name was not on it.

Shame this has happened at a very good family friendly club like Belmont.

Thats why as a club before we take on new All Age teams, we do a lot of back ground checks with Refs and the Associations. If a whole All Age Team is looking for a new club you have to ask why.

I don't think this sort of thing should reflect on Belmont as a club. Its not their role to check every team sheet before a team plays. Sad thing is, they cop the fine.

A team official actually puts the players name on the team sheet-how is it not their responsibility to check it.

Team Official, not a club official.

Half the time a team official is one of the players in all age. How is that the clubs fault.
