2024 Zone League 1

[Jardelsimage]

Being serious, The morale thing would have been to forfeit your spot.
Cardiff had 22 rounds to prove their worth last year and were well off the pace.

What's the point of having promotion / relegation if you just use a technicality to keep others out.

Poor form

2023 does not equal 2024

West TIGERS are saying the same thing.

[Golden Goal Fan]

I’m not involved with Cardiff but I’d much rather be going to Evans Park than some other grounds on the draw. Also big ups to the tigers canteen.

Criteria should only play a part if the side that finished last were happy to be relegated

Which club is going to be happy to be relegated?

Should be simple next year though 1st up, last down.

What I was trying to say was that it may suit a club to be demoted/relegated if they're going through a rough patch - a time to rebuild. May be a better option than to fold a club as some clubs have done in the past.

Agree - finish 1st and it takes any doubt and ambiguity out of it.

agree but that would make it hard for the trophy hunters from certain clubs.

btw Mayf juniors came last in 2s and didnt go down. Not one word about that anywhere. Only Cardiff can be crims apparently

Boo! Dont let the truth get in the way of a good storyline. Though Cardiff were off the pace lastyear in 1s they still pulled some half decent results in Reg/3s to finish mid table. Don't imagine a year like lastyear is going to hold a club like Cardiff down for too long.

Mayfield jnrs however playing 15yo's that are the size of primary school kids was a dangerous look especially against some of the competitive sides across all 3 grades.

Difference there is the between ZL2 and ZL3 no other club in ZL3 could get a 3rd grade team so they could meet the 3-team criteria of the league. The league was also expanded, neither of these would?ve been issues for ZL1 to ZL2 as all the clubs in ZL2 had 3-team squads already and ZL1 didn?t have extra teams added to it

[Alton]

As an opposition player, I like going there to play and believe the comp needs them,I think Cardiff do everything right atm except of course for performances in first grade

Here?s some bold predictions for you.

Suns win it - then will blame financials to get out of NL1

Dudley to miss finals

Minmi and Cardiff the relegation battle

Suns for mine, from Dudley, Warners Bay, and Mayfield. Olympic as a dark horse. Not sure about Kotara with change of coach. They’ve got good young players coming through so will be thereabouts for a few years
Uni to struggle.
Cardiff to bounce - too good a club to perform like 2023 again. Not sure what went wrong. They just seemed….loose.

Newbie here!

They have to go up or be banished to the lowest league possible.

[Lofty]

Suns are looking for a trial on the weekend of 2 March. Three grades preferred and would need a venue to host as cricket is still running..

Any word on when first draft of the draw will be out?

Week before comp starts LOL

[Taffy]

Kotara has South Cardiff in a trial this weekend (I guess that will depend on the heat), any other trial matches locked in?
