Uni beat Branxton last night in the penalty shootout.

Wow Branxton might have a solid year

Or, perhaps no public transport to Branxton which made it hard for the students to get there.

Uni were basically at full strength so no excuses there. Brilliant effort from Branxton and very unlucky not to walk away with the cupset.

Appears that most zone leagues have a very clear gap between top teams, middle teams and the teams making up the numbers.

It is clear that there is 3 clubs in zl1 that could easily be in zl2 or zl3.

Westlakes tried to do the same, was denied. Unsure by federation or Kotara

I would think Ref allocation would certainly become an issue if multiple or all games were shifted to Friday night for this round.

Better chance getting a ref on a Friday night
