Congratulations to Barnsley on becoming Premiers!!
Massive turn around from almost being relegated last year. Top stuff..
Good last hitout for the Cats, hope it didn't dampen Old Boy's day too much.
Congrats and good luck to those playing in finals. Terrace to beat Barnsley in the GF for me. Each of the three remaining fixtures could go either way though. It's been a great comp to be part of, can't wait til next season!

Wallsend would have loved a win by Charlestown in 3rds yesterday
They should promote/relegate based on Club Championship, like Sydney NPL do.
OK
I for one am shocked that someone from Morisset doesn't like the ideaops:
It's genuinely worth considering, I reckon. Adding to what Jardel has said.. what about those clubs that have years when their first grade absolutely blitz a comp but their other grade(s) are cellar dwellers? From memory I can think of both Morisset and Raymond Terrace having years like this. Having entire clubs contributions is a good thought. And as we can see from this years Club Championship in this comp, the first grade ladder varies very little from the Club Championship ladder. It's still heavily based on First Grade, which is the goal.
Using this years First Grade vs Club Champ Ladder, from what I can see the main differences are: Morisset and Charlestown swap 9th and 10th positions, Cooks Hill move from 8th to 5th because of their great Reserve Grade results. The rest are pretty much the same.

OK
Feel for Charlie's Third Grade side who over the past few years have made the finals and been the clubs best performed side who now with relegation I imagine are the blokes on the chopping block!!!! Pretty raw deal. Tough on a club having to jettison an entire team after years together.
Ha ha ha....the only issue I see is you could stack lower grade teams to get points at the end of the season... As an example of this was the rule a team 6 weeks out that can't make semis could stack ressies in the hope of getting points.... That wouldn't be ideal either
I'm interested to see how many teams go after the Charly goal keeper now they drop out from here. He would be up there with one of the better keepers in the comp.
Think you will find Morisset won the club champs 2 years ago... Firsts won the premiership and ressies were top 4. Thirds finished 7th.... All contributed...
We have always used 3rds as a feeder for the juniors coming into senior football... Others use it as the old boys team... Changing the rules may mean teams treat lower grades very different and may impact on juniors coming through....
