2025 Zone League 1

[Zonal Marking]

Yes I was thinking about this, Westlakes (and I am sure others in the past) have been able to rely on wet weather to call off a game when they didn't have the numbers or missing too many first players (it's happened in NPL as well). Last weekend Hamilton couldn't use that as an excuse and so just forfeited and copped the fine.

Except they did have the numbers they just didnt fancy going out there and potentially having 10+ goals put past them. Ironically they actually might have kept the score respectable looking at their performance against Kotara.

It just sets a poor precedent. What if westlakes got relegated by GD this season? You might find teams tactically taking the 3-0 loss to stay in the division.
