2018 Zone League 1 thread

Every club is short throughout the year and blokes need to play a couple of grades but I'd have thought that ressies boys help out Thirds and you keep your First Grade starting 11 fresh. That's how we've always done it. But each to their own. Not a great look having your gun First Grade striker playing Thirds

To me that's the logical choice.
Each grade get 11 fresh players and your subs for reserve and first back up from thirds and reserves. Yeah sometimes each grade can't get 11 fresh but you certainly don't risk injury to your first grade striker to play thirds whilst you have 14 or 15 blokes in third grade.

I would have hated to be the bloke who regularly plays striker in third grade. Sitting on the bench whilst the first grade striker is out there and you not being able to help your mates qualify for the finals. Those on the bench getting half a game in thirds whilst a couple of others are playing 2 games, I would be filthy if it was me.

Those noisey ‘real Azzuri’ boys are pretty quiet after having two grades knocked out of the finals by the non stacking Garden Suburb boys.

How odd.

Wish I'd seen this b4 this arvie to shoot it down in flames.
No breath was held in latte land, I can tell you.

Good effort from our boys, considering the Contiki Tour of Russia they had to have.

Would have been a great outcome for Uni who's 1st grade just have not performed at all. And given that they had 3 all age players playing 3rds, 6 3rd graders playing reserves and 5 reserve graders playing first with 2 backing up from reserve grade match, it was always going to be a tough ask !

3rds and Reserves for cookers, Terrace, Gardo and Uni all playing Home and Away though.... What happened to Azzurri ?!

My very naive view would say if they swapped the 3rds games around that would make arguably too much sense. I wonder if the clubs approached the fed about it if they'd even consider it though..

Got to love the old AWAY Leg at home for CHUFC Ressies (such an absurd rule for minor grades who have no control over venue)
