I think some zpl teams are better then NL1 teams just like some NL1 teams are a lot better then zpl and some npl teams. Really doesn't matter, cup sets and opportunities to play teams a league up is what it's about.

I saw NL put 17-1 past two ZPL squads (,Mayf and Kotara) in the last 3 weeks, not sure if they do that to consecutive NL1 teams. ZPL might push a few NL1. Yes training and commitment are factors, NL1 is dying a slow death anyway, Youth football is a focus for half of the Clubs. The rest may as well go back to ZPL.
While I appreciate the ambition 2022 is going to be the 3rd season in a row Metford is playing the bottom All Age Sat grade. What is the plan here? Just a way to get more pre-season trials? Did they just luck out on the draw and get New Lambton instead of a Zone league side? If they're that desperate to play on No.2 just sign up for Friday 4s with the Wanderers, that'll hurt less than 21-0.
When is the next round of games drawn?

Sth Maitland 0 - 4 Hamilton Azzurri
Sth Maitland were very poor. On another note that field and facilities at Tenambit are unreal. Wonders why they don't have a zone team
They did many many years ago. But interest from some players and the committee at the time made it hard to keep it going. I tried numerous times to revive it but was not met with much enthusiasm. They seem happy with how the operate now, but your right in say the facilities are quite decent..
Tenambit was always a good place to go and play in the lower zone leagues. Good field and facilities and it appeared like they had a few people that tried to make it work.
It's disappointing the way it's gone that clubs come and go at the drop of a hat and Tenambit were a team that should still have a zone league squad. Sustainable zone league clubs are hard to come by, I guess all ZPL and ZL1 Squads are stable. But it only takes 10 or so players to drop out of a zl2 or zl3 squad to make the club vulnerable.
Maitland is a growing area, but at the end of the day there is only enough players to go around a certain number of clubs. It appears that Bolwarra, North's United and South Maitland have stable clubs who will hopefully stay around. Flooding the Maitland area might affect these clubs in depth of numbers.
Maybe in a year or so a Tenambit or even Maitland Juniors might come back in zone league 3. Maitland Juniors were also a good club for a zone league outfit especially with the ground improvements. But a lack of success on field was probably the reason they failed to survive which again was disappointing. Maitland seniors were successful, but I'm not sure if they were ever going to be a long term club in the lower zone leagues.
Any results tonight
