I watched bero play in the first round of state cup and they were very sharp for a new team.
They have some very quality players. I know its still an upset but they will, in my opinion, walk through league 3 this season.
I also find it very hard to believe a ZPL team would be resting players. As someone else said, it isnt europe!
Everyone i know who plays in these leagues is keen for as many games as possible, especially at this time of the year!
