24 teams top 12 into cup bottom 12 into plate. New Lambton being 14th means they go in, Cooks Hill finishing bottom of the club championship last year mainly because they had no 16s is also why. Which is probably reflected in that their 18s failed to make the finals.

If those two go into the Cup, then you have 2 groups with 4, or you drop another 2 out. Which 2 would you propose should've been in the plate instead?


Not quite sure why semi finals were at LMRFF last week but the finals are now @ Macquarie and Blacksmiths.
I did see an email where Northern asked if any clubs would like to host the semis last weekend but none took the opportunity to make a bucket load of cash from their canteen. Both Cooks Hill and South Cardiff hosted the Plate semis


Agree though it seems the kids did enjoy having something to play for and probably would prefer that over trial matches which would've occurred during that week anyway.
