one plays the ball the other plays the player :)
CSL is much more gentlemanly , amateurs a little more body and soul, in saying that Div 1 would give the well paid Prem teams of Amateur a run for their money. Hasnt been a playoff for a while but last one i believe saw CSL win against SAASL select side. would be interesting now to see who would better now?

Teams like Rostrevor, Unley, Mercedes have always had traditionally strong teams (Rostrevor in particular who were the guys who sprung an upset in the Fed Cup years back).

Having said that though, general standard would be Div 2 (Sunday) average (for the A teams only).

When you start to head down to the lower Divs of Collegiate, you better have good health insurance and ambulance cover :lol:

Don't ever play sunday morning football in England if you think the collegiate league has agricultural tackling.

So ROSCS v BOSA on the weekend ended 4-1 to Rostrevor. Is that a true indication, Collegiate v winners of Div 1 Saturday last year?

Not sure you can judge a league 'standard' from one team and game, let alone a pre-season hit out.

Agree, and on a long weekend. Years ago when Inter were dominating the saasl, they beat Azzurri ( Blue Eagles, with most of their first team 3-2 ), in a pre season friendly.

I doubt whether any of the A team superstars have even rocked up for pre-season training yet :P

A division in Collegiate league is good, it has improved over the years, a lot of State players come to play Saturday afternoon football when they have too much of training hard, you can have a sausage and a beer, before, during and after the game.........yes there is the odd broken leg but most of the players are either doctors or lawyers, so you are in good hands :lol:

Rostrevor are chokers, wow they win pre season games. They do this every year - big favourites in the collegiate league, then they come 4th or 5th. And that's the truth.
