Re: Adelaide United Players Playing Interstate

Well, I think SportsBird might be at least partially correct in what she is saying but probably not right in how it is intended (or appears to be intended/understood) Let us start with Charlotte Grant as she has been named, Charlotte did not go from SA to Sweden direct, she got there via the NSW WNP...

Re: State league 2021

So the rumor was true. In regards to will there be enough players to go around, well that's a very good question. The FSA will hopefully use the interest in State League from clubs down South as a catalyst to get Women's and Junior Girls football moving down South. Throw some money and recourses int...

State league 2021

So I have heard talk that State league is returning to women's football in 2021.

Who can add to this, which clubs, what are the requirements, will it be 1st and reserves. will it exclude the Prem's clubs who have Div teams.

Re: Season 2018

Has there been any confirmation that there will be promotion from Div 1 to Prems, I know that is what is being said but has it been confirmed. FFSA has been very quite nothing public (that i can find) about the restructure or explaining how it will work, are they still to decide?

Re: Cumberland's Fall and who gains - Fulham and Comets

As I said in an early post on this subject, the clear majority of Cumby members accepted relegation to SL. Over time a strong belief has evolved it would be good for the club to spend a season or two in SL to regroup and get its new structures in place. The issue is not relegation but the fact that ...

Re: Cumberland's Fall and who gains - Fulham and Comets

That would work Div 1 taking over from SL only if there is never to be promotions to Prems, you can't expect a club that only has a 1 Div team and no reserves to find or create a reserve team out of thin air so they can compete in the prems the following season. The only way you can make promotion f...

Re: Cumberland's Fall and who gains - Fulham and Comets

1st question that needs to be answered is will there be a State League or not. If there is no State league and the FFSA chooses to send Cumby back to Div 1 then the remaining strong seniors will most likely leave and Cumbies strong juniors will make no difference to the clubs future no aspirational ...

Re: Cumberland's Fall and who gains - Fulham and Comets

I thought there was a system in place whereby every player nominated by a club to play WNPL carries points according to their experience and you can only field a team with a certain amount of points, correct me if I am wrong. If there isn't perhaps it is time there is, and if there is then perhaps t...

Re: Cumberland's Fall and who gains - Fulham and Comets

Thanks billy the kid, Enough dirty laundry courteous of the committee to fill a commercial laundry, thankfully that has come to a end.

Re: Cumberland's Fall and who gains - Fulham and Comets

Brenton T, Your correct in saying the WNPL has evolved, we've (my family and I) been involved in the women's game for over 10 years now. I recall watching 'Elite Games' in the early years and thinking oh my gosh how far do they need to come. Comparing the league from then to now its been on an extra...

Re: Cumberland's Fall and who gains - Fulham and Comets

I also agree that most players will want to stay with the club, however the decision to stay or leave I believe will come down to who the club secures as coaches. What program the new coaching team can implement and the resources the club is willing to invest in. Players will need to see a very clea...

Re: Junior Finals - girls

Junior Cup Finals 19th August and yes all 3 Cumberland United Junior teams got through to the final, an exceptional feat. But that result raises the question why can they not also get the senior team performing in the same fashion. Obviously Cumberland produces talented players and attract talented ...

The home team keeper choose to wear Green thus causing a clash with the away team, please keep in mind ...
