Yes, neither team won minor premiership.
Let’s see what happens.
Not another team gifted a passage to promotion. What’s going on there Velki?
Just wishful thinking that’s all😂. Been a few changes around zones in all divisions this season. Maybe there won’t be a zone 3 at all next season, who knows.
Good luck next week and well done on a great year back for your club.
Thanks mate. Just the beginning for us hopefully.

Azzurri have choked big time
What the? Rough week for Azzurri. Newcastle Croatia must be very happy not to be playing them again
Croats cant lose. Engrave the trophy
The old Croats score 100 goals in a season and still came second 👍👍
Thanks for the flash news 😂
They probably are, in the reality of a 1 off final there was always the possibility of some upsets across the zone leagues. We were obviously seen as one of the bigger upsets.
A couple of points, Cardiff did beat Azzurri earlier in the year so there was some confidence that we could get a result.
Azzurri had 2 golden opportunities to score in the game, maybe the pressure of a final helped us in these situations.
We had 12 players unavailable on Sunday, 7 off them were first graders. That is an enormous hurdle when playing quality teams and credit to the guys that played Sunday. This was the reason why our reserve grade struggled at the back end of the season. With 36 players on the books we shouldn't have had to call on all age players to field a squad in a finals game.
Croatia is a bigger challenge. We have never really been competitive with them. In my opinion there hasn't been a bigger challenge in the last 8 years in zone league 3, an extremely good side across the park. We will give it our best and see how we go.
Good insight and good luck!
Croatia v Cardiff
5-0
Well done to Croatia today, too good.
Over the season we never got close to Croatia, we were hopeful today might have been different. But that wasn't the case.
Against them you need to start well, we missed a very good chance early. Then Croatia scored 2 excellent goals and before you know it your fighting to stay in the game.
For Cardiff, we will be back bigger and better next season. Azzurri will go up and surely Croatia will join them. They are a side that clubs further up the tree will be looking over their shoulders at. Playing them is like playing a ZPL standard team.
Cheers mate, good bunch of blokes you guys at Cardiff, congrats on a good season.
Just watched the game on Facebook, haven't seen Croatia play before. Jake McGuiness is almost unstoppable at this level, 3 goals. Without him the game would have been tighter.
Cardiff needed to take the few chances they had, one was early when it was 0-0. They did have 2 late one on ones when the game was over. Croatia pretty much get an opportunity and score, no margin for error.
Interesting to see how high Croatia climb in the zone league?
Watched the game. Pitch was immaculate, but facilities were lacking for a busy grand final. Newcastle Croatia doesn't have any holes. All of their goals were topshelf finishes. Cardiff worked hard and were valiant, but you could tell there wasn't a point in the game where they controlled it.
You would think if they keep that side together they would jump a couple levels. Drubbing teams with footy scores isn't going to keep clubs in the lower end of the zone ladder
