2015 Women's Premier League

Long time listener, first time caller!

Hopefully with valentine leaving the league will boost the quality with one less team! Apparently wallsend have thrown the lure of free rego out, which always will attract attention! Word also was that all girls who played for wallsend last year were guaranteed a spot this year.... Between that not happening and the captaincy being taken could Marc hingston complete the hattrick of being sacked three times in three years? Only time will tell!

what was the reason for the sackings the first two times, results or other?

To be quite clear, Marc was not sacked from Merewether. The change of coach was due to Marc's change of work circumstances (howzats change of ownership), which he was later able to work around for Southy.

Marc has a long history with Merewether, and we hope to see him involved with the club again at some point in the future.

Some of the ex Valentine girls ended up going to South Wallsend. I am told Maddy Searle and Gemma Pearce are two of the players who have gone to South Wallsend.

Oh so it wasn't Wallsend that was mentioned earlier.


As for my question as to why Imogen would leave Merewether for Warners since her 'friends' went to Wallsend. It's been answered elsewhere and makes sense as to why she didn't go to Wallsend.

So the club had no issues with him and would've kept him on as first grade coach had Genesis not bought Howzat?

It was Wallsend that was mentioned earlier, I am still being told that a lot of the Valentine girls went to Wallsend but it turns out a couple have gone to South Wallsend as well.

Just found out Imogen has gone to Wallsend. Olivia is now staying at Warners Bay.

Merewether still looking for a 1st grade Goal Keeper.....

They must've kissed and made up then now she has gone to Wallsend.

Apparently when facing a mass player exodus merewether found it easier to move the coach as opposed to finding a new first grade squad decided to move the coach on instead...
And some less than savoury comments towards the younger members in the side at south wallsend was the beginning of the end. The fact he tried to jump ship mid season but couldn't find anywhere to land was probably a good indicator he was on his way out. Goodluck to him turning a squad of 700 into 11 each week. You'd almost feel sorry for some of the girls who are promised the world every week...

maybe some early season transfers for those who are not getting a game then...

AT the end of it all until players actually register it can all be a bit of a puzzle anyway, and pre-season will soon see the usual movements as well as players find they aren't in the top 11 or aren't comfortable with a particular coach.

At the end of the day FFA & Northern need to open up registration for the top divisions far earlier than January so commitments can at least be made between players and clubs.

I can imagine it is very difficult for clubs and coaches to begun finalising teams and begin planning for the season when come a month out they could be looking at a whole new team.
