Re: New Junior Structure 2014

I think people are looking TOO deep .... I feel FFSA just want to elimanate promotion/relegation at junior level, thats it, and the 'win at all cost' mentality that goes with it Remember, we're only talking about 4 age groups, and some SL clubs (who have very few 'A' division teams anyway) think Ar...

Re: The health of clubs

I thought half the reason they limited JPL entries was to spread the talent more evenly. If clubs cannot field quota of JPL teams at the very least, then those clubs simply arent doing enough to be worthy of inclusion to the FFSA anyway.
