Both on tonight as well

Minmi and Swansea played lastnight
1st 0-1
Reserves 0-2
3rds forfeit

Unless Suns are purposely throwing games than no chance. They will be fired up after the Swansea setback.

The result is showing on Squadi as uni 1 Suns 0


Suns don?t strike me as the types that would throw games. Are they just down on troops or is something else going on?

Edit - I’m told it was 2-1 Suns

There’s been some interesting takes in this forum over the years. But clubs throwing games is utter nonsense. I think for the sake of everyone, let’s just put a line through that one.

Suns socials suggests plenty of injuries. Aside from Swansea, commendable results considering you have been fielding a majority reserve grade line up recently.

It?s a testament to your depth. You certainly won?t be out of sorts up a division in 2025.

Maybe not last night but you will have a few ?accidents? before the season is out.

What?s the benefit of getting rid of third grade?
Is it magically going to make the struggling clubs better in first grade?
Teams that struggle in 3rd grade seem to also struggle in first grade.
Surely cutting back to a 10 team comp would be better for everyone. That should be the focus.

Maybe if new clubs entered ZL ZL1 then players might go back to these clubs. The big clubs now might not be so strong in the future. Not sure many on here would like that.
Helps with smaller clubs not having to recruit more players at the lower end. Can focus on 2 grades of quality.
Less games to program and less catchups for wet weather.
3rd grade can be optional is a decent opinion from a previous post.
Less admin time for volunteers.

I cant see why we are so triggered on keeping a very average comp football wise.
The only reasonable excuses ive heard is the mates community/connections.
Pretty sure you can do that off a football field.
My 2c.

Any games get on?

Cardiff and west lake cats had 2 grades 3rds and ressies play, deemed fine. No further rain from then. Their first grade team hid under the shelter to a non raining day whilst tigers warmed up. Expect a forfeit of points to go to the tigers. Unreal behaviour. Never seen a team of 9 not want a game. President kitty cat made the call. Refs were happy to play but overruled. West lakes cats
