Next weekend is a crucial weekend for the top 6 in 1st grade with the top 6 all playing against each other. All 3 games are potential 6 pointers.

Mayfield V Suns
Uni V Swansea

I agree with your point of the best team should go up, look at Bero this year killing it in first and currently in top 4 or two in lower grades, now are they not the team that will make newfm a stronger comp? Yes their facilities are not the best but in my opinion they should be aloud promotion. Strong competition first then fix all other areas. I'm sure Bero have plans to make changes to meet the criteria. But not promoting them wouldn't be right, once again in my opinion.
Correct. You cant create a duopoly between 2 divisions. Bero should at least have a chance to go up. Facilities and criteria for grounds are loose these days. Kahibah has thrown a fence around their ground, whilst if Cooks Hill is a football ground I will give it away. Promotion breeds interest, relegation avoids complacency. I am sure Bournemouth doesnt have a ground that fits ALL of the EPL criteria but it is going to be magic seeing their 12000 fans crammed in. We get a little too precious about NPL. I think Heidelberg showed that we are some way down the pecking order toward being truly semi professional. Westlakes or Mayfield Juniors deserve a vision to go as high as they can and South Cardiff and Westy should take their medicine.
The team coming 2nd in the Victorian NPL beat a mid table Northern NSW NPL team by a respectable scoreline of 3-1 and that means we are "some way down the pecking order"?
Get your head out of the clouds, what were you expecting from the FFA cup game.
Didn't the team coming last in the NNSW NPL beat the same team Heidelberg beat by the same scoreline? Does that mean Magic are down on the pecking order from Southy because of one game?
So anyone with the Mayfield V Dudley results
Play today
So it was a beautiful day down by the sunny shores of Swansea yesterday. Suburbs lower grades turned up to play and walked away with the points, But then we move onto the main game, where my predictions were correct. The Burbs keeper spent most of the time picking the ball out the back of the net, he even decided to play some tunnel ball by allowing the ball to dribble through his legs and into the back of the net.
On a side note its great to see Suburbs give some former sport stars a run in their sides.....Former NRL front row forward Mark O'Meley made an appearance in goals for reserve grade and also former Newcastle Jet Zenon Caravella was given run in first grade were he scored suburbs only goal of the game....
That it was. Top day down by the shores of old Swampea and the Guinness was delicious back at the pub, although it was a struggle getting my head through the doors.
Suburb lower grades gave their finals charge just what it needed, hopefully they can carry the momentum from the last few weeks into the finals and have a good crack.
Cheers to all from Swansea for a good day
My bad I read it wrong on SP, cheers
Couldn't sleep at 4 o clock this mornin mate?
Early bird gets the worm
Good to see gardos 1st graders getting the job done in reserve grade 👍🏻
Hardly the boys have just got themselves back into form after a slump.
considering after 7 or 8 rounds they were on top.
dudley vs Mayfield @ Dudley
3rds 2-1
Res 2-1
1st 2-0
You are dreaming if you think it was close. It was a different level between both teams and Heidelberg took the foot off a long way from home and a game to play in Vic Sat. As current leaders, Edgeworth would be competitive against NSW Supa League teams (2nd Div Sydney). Thats not necessarily bad just fact that this NPL, despite NNSWF size is average at best compared to Vic, NSW, SA and QLD. Prycey would confirm WA too. We need to promote a vibrant local comp and give ambitious clubs a chance to reach higher. Generate more interest thus more money thus better quality.
