It won't change, the rules are applied as stated for the competition (3-0 result or Bye, same difference). Quoted below.
Team removed or withdrawn during the second round of Competition ? each
opposing Team that has played the removed or withdrawn Team shall have
the relevant points and goals for the second Round removed from its record
and shall be credited with a BYE result. Each Team that has not played the
removed or withdrawn Team shall be credited with a BYE result.
Don?t blame Newcastle football, blame Azzurri, the people?s s club,
Another disappointing season for Cardiff. Many expected them to be right up there challenging for the premiership.
Interested to see how they finish off the season
Cardiff not happy, Warners Bay get the boost as they lost to Azzurri in the 2nd rd.
I copped some heat for this post on PAGE 36 of forums but stand by it, Croatia went on to remain undefeated for the rest of the year and Cardiff didn?t do much and were the only team to drop points to Azzurri.
pretty sure the Bay dropped 3 points
Cardiff have need dudded doesn?t matter what way you look at it.
Azzurri should have zero points and all clubs given the 6 points from the matches.
Never been to Lisle Carr but Cessnock put on great game days. Like all grand finals, it isn't just the people running it, it is the people attending. Get a great crowd and it will be a great atmosphere.

That result was overturned
All games should be transferred to a 3-0 win.
Crazy is Cardiff aren't disputing this
Cant. Rules say 1st round scores stands. 2nd round are byes & 3 pts.
Cardiff werent consistent enough this season. Good luck anyone trying to get the GF win off Croatia anyway.
Na, WB still on 32p, in the end they should have just made Azzurris last 2 games forfeits, that way goal scorers still all stand, Suns strikers could feel a bit hard done by, but a forfeit is a forfeit.
Who else were they playing???
The competition regs have been in place for years.
How can you possibly justify the claim that Newcastle Football have made a mess of it?
The regulations are clear and have been followed to the letter.
The only entity to blame here is Azzuri.
Absolutely this.
I dont think many will forget the shade they have thrown at other clubs that have kept their clubs going through thick and thin for decades, only for them to rise and fall over such a short period of time.
Hopefully some of those involved learn some humility from this experience.
The main issue is the day, Friday night isn't good for anybody. I'm sure the crowd would be much better on a Saturday, which in turn would be better for the host club.
Personally, I don't mind that it's in the Valley, Top 2 teams are from up that way. I would have asked if Bellbird wanted to host it, we played there last weekend. Pitch would be as good as any in Zone League, it also helps out financially a Zone League club. Bellbird have always put on a good match day.
For mine, Sunday is Zone league 1 grand final day. Both ZL2 and ZL3 could easily be played at different venues on the Saturday. Just scatter First grade kickoff times.
Zl3 First grade kickoff at 1
Zl2 First grade kickoff at 4.30
I don't disagree, Friday night is an abomination. I can only guess it is done that way because it is easier for Newcastle Football.
Top 5 now finalized.
When will the semi finals matches be set ?
Students vs Croatia
Full-time 2-2
Students win 3-2 in extra time scoring in the 103rd minute
Croatia shown a red card in the 70th minute
Terrible prediction. Students will be lucky to get past Mayfield in the first elimination final.
