That?s all a time ? choke? job for the Suns, been the form team for years. Suddenly when promotion is on the line they have to play the 3rd grade GK in first grade and yeah the Palozzi?s need to play Ressies to get back into form.

Congrats to Dudley though!

I hope they can handle the BBQ and duty office vest without their club stalwarts from 3rds there.

Suns v Croatia will be the new go too in ZL 😂

Well done Dudley on premierships in all 3 grades. Very impressive for all grades to win

Congratulations to Dudley, Back to where they belong. Well done

Congratulations to Dudley. A clean sweep of three premierships is a very impressive achievement.

Will be interesting in the coming years who comes out of this comp and is promoted. Suns I think will next year and if Croatia spend they will in the near future. NL1 in 4-5years will be like the best ZL1 clubs now plus a few from NL1 now. None will have juniors to be able to go to NPL and promotion to the top grade will happen every now and then like the old days.
Promotion/Relegation goes on the top grade why should not having juniors stop say Dudley going up if the win next year when it?s only first grade that counts

I agree with what you?re saying and also believe Suns are nailed on to go up next season. I can?t help but feel the federation would probably prefer clubs like Kotara, Mayfield & Warners Bay clubs who either have a large junior base or the ability to realign with them (Mayfield) to move up though.

[Taffy]

Well I guess Dudley don't get to lose their third team now, except instead of a bunch of old blokes it is now a bunch of U18s they need to organise.

Well done to Suns for figuring out how to stay in the comp, and next year this thread gets even more Croatia talk then before #samocroatia.

That may be true, however, currently those with the large junior base could look to enter these teams in PYL now.

There are teams already in that comp like Toronto and Singleton whose kids gets flogged every week. Why add more teams and dilute it further.
Dudley could merge with the junior club also

Correct me if I am wrong gentlemen. However it looks as though a few clubs have strengthened there lower grades and pushed players down.

I won't name names but it is quite evident with recent results...

Fair play to them, let's hope they don't come unstuck with the ruling in place for this
