Great game from all the boys, played in good spirits on an emotional day with RObbos 200 and the acknowledgement for LUke SMith the young Toronto boy lost in swansea channel

Good win for Kahibah tonight. Sets up a cracker for Westy and Toronto this weekend
And with that win for Kahibah it seals Belswans to finish first (seems for the first time finishing first in any comp for 40 years) and guarantee promotion.
How?s Robbie Turnbull, reports are he may have done serious leg damage when they won the penalty and got westy player sent off.
I?ve now seen it, wasn?t pretty, wasn?t intentional but contacted head so red imo
As much as I like watching semis and GFs the relegation playoffs will be equally as interesting.
Toronto v Kahibah
Westy v A/Town
Tronno v A/Town
So teams must have all youth to go up.Should a team without Premier Youth League teams finish in one of the play-off spots, they will not contend the play-offs
and the remaining play-off teams will move up their position within the play-off.
Stags did well here. Their 15s, 16s 18s may be getting flogged but this allows for shot at promotion. Same for Singo & Westy.
Alternatively, why is Adamstown allowed to stay in NPL when they cant fill the youth teams?

Northern says teams have one year grace which is why Charlestown was allowed to stay up last year.
If Adamstown don't get all youth teams and stay up, then Northern will need to either follow their own rules and relegate them pushing up the team who came in second in the play-off final or do what they normally do and ignore their rules and come up with an excuse as to why they won't drop them
Kahibah Reserves with their second red for ref abuse. If Northern do what they told everyone they are going to do will make the race for finals more interesting.
Perhaps there were six witnesses that said the official misheard. Seems to work for NPL clubs. I am sure NNSW will deal with it. 🤣🤣
As to it affecting the reserve grade semis, that will play out and hasn't a bearing on first grade promotion play offs.
Interesting how ref abuse gets you 6 weeks off, and potential points penalty, but nearly take a blokes head off or snap his leg and you get less, there are no point penalties and the 'victims' club can be penalised by losing a player to injury for potentially weeks or a season.
Clearly names hurt more than sticks and stones these days.
Great day for stags nine point week with wins over Belswans, Wallsend and West Wallsend.

Interesting finish
Seems to be little advantage in finishing 2nd OR 3rd . They both play each other anyway over two legs and no away goal rule
