2023 Zone Premier League

I ?with card hungry referees around finals time.

I reckon they give fewer cards in the finals, especially reds.
Maybe it?s the bigger crowds, but I reckon they?re a bit less likely in the semis

If you finish last in a 12 team competition you should be relegated no matter what.... Azzurri ZL1 might go and play somewhere else? Their socials do indicate they label themselves as FC Novacastria. Maybe they could just play as FC Novocastria and stay under the Azzurri banner to allow the both to stay in the competition.

Would be a great darby

ZL1 Azzurri play at Smith Park and from my understanding have no real desire to leave. Smith Park has already been deemed by the joint zones as unacceptable for ZPL, which is literally the whole reason ZPL Azzurri play at Hexham currently.

Just a conversation point worth consideration.

Any word on Grand Final venues for ZFL or is it going to be another shambles like last year?

Olympic was good last year. Hopefully common sense prevails and it?s at an NPL ground

I?m hearing there is a push for the new Myer Park facility.

Darling St were brilliant hosts last year.

Agree on Darling St, but with the work they have going on it might not be available. Myers Park set up is good with the stands, but the playing surface needs time.
Magic Park is a good venue, and so is Adamstown

On Promotion/relegation for 2024"
As of next year if a ZL team goes into Newfm the Joint Interdistrict Zones will work with any promoted club to find an appropriate position within the all age competitions for any displaced third team.

What happens if a ZL team doesnt want to go up?

Darling street was average, the pitch was hard and bouncy. Not enjoyable for teams

That is a huge result for Wbay. Surely now makes them odds on favourites to secure that third place and avoid a straight up elimination final.

No other scores from the Weekend?
Olympic Kotara?
Uni Suns?
Dudley Swansea?
Minmi Cardiff?

Heading into the business end of the season and you people are getting slack lol

Dudley did well to get on. Ground held up considering. Dudley v Suns in 2 weeks is looking very important in all grades
