No you're wrong gny!
Bon is definitely a reserve grader. Don't know how he's managed to hang on to a first grade spot for so long

Gny you just need to relax and collect your winners bonus

Don't know what this has got to do with me, no-one has mentioned my name in all this.. haha..
I have often wondered the same thing though, rolo..

1st Grade:
Swansea GD of +8 and Mayfield with a -3, Swansea are all but secured. Big game next weekend for Cardiff V Mayfield, must win for Mayfield as Cardiff can wrap up the top 4 with a win. Uni relying on a Draw or a win from Mayfield to keep their slim hopes alive.

Res Grade:
This one is going to be tight 4 teams vying for 2 remaining spots.
Suburb are now relying on results and finish with a tough task of beating Uni to have any chance, Mayfield can all but secure their spot with a win against Cardiff this weekend. Barnsley have winable but far from easy games against New Lambton and Suns to push Beresfield all the way who finish with a hard game against the table topping Dudley.

3rd Grade:
Also a tight one. Dudley mathematically aren't safe yet and have Beresfield in the last round to cement their finals spot. Suburb have a bigger task of cementing their spot by hosting Uni in the last game. A big game next weekend for Cardiff and Mayfield in this Grade also, as the winner will be able to make that last push, a draw here doesn't help either side although Mayfield may still be able to make it with a draw. However both Cardiff and Mayfield are relying on results going there way to make the finals.

Congrats to all those who have qualified already, commiserations to those who have missed out and good luck to those still with a shot.

Due to new lambton's awesome whinging ability and mates in the association Barnsley have been forced to forfeit their catch up game. (results already on sp)

Do you want to tell the truth or should I let everyone know what really happened?

[Jardelsimage]

well don't keep us waiting, tell us what really happened then.....

Due to concerns for player safety due to ground conditions game was cancelled.

New lambton come out lunch time took photos and call head of association to come out and then fight there case to get the forfeit.

End of the day it's Park football and everyone of us have to work on Monday can't do that with broken bones..

[howardyou]

well don't keep us waiting, tell us what really happened then.....

Well, after the game was surprisingly called off due to the apparent wet condition of the ground, our First Team coach and President went to inspect. They found that the field was quite dry and entirely playable.
Russell Henry from Newcastle Football also inspected the ground after we had been there.

Photos were taken as evidence of our claim and we made a phone call to Russell stating that we believed the game should have been played and would be making a formal complaint. He initially agreed with our observations, but stated that the issue would go through a formal process and parties would be informed of the decision and any rulings. We received word on Thursday or Friday that the ZPL board had ruled based on all of the information available that Barnsley did not make every effort to enable the match to proceed as required in the regulations. Therefore Barnsley forfeit the round. Quite simple.

No "mates in the association" as Donk so eloquently puts it. We just wanted to play the game on the day. We were left wondering why Barnsley didn't want the game to go ahead.... i guess there were a few things on that weekend.

When you call him back on his personal phone and drag him away from his grand child's soccer game. I'm thinking would have to be some kind of "mates"

[Donk]

But guess when you mates like that and are concerned about the results if you can get an easy 3 points for all 3 grades to help with final chances why wouldn't you do it..

Yeah good one. Love a conspiracy as well. But that wasn't the case.
