Feels a bit like cheating doesn't it, but it's a credit to their depth in the U13s

[Green_Manalishi]

Cheating? Nah......

Convenient that after just two rounds of the U14 Cup, 7 of the 8 teams are from the A Div... got a nicely sewn up guys haven't you?

Yeah, yeah its all about player development, blah blah blah....talk to the hand.

Not sure where your whining is come from - all the games except the games involving Western Strikers 14's seemed to be close affairs. I know the game the Para Hills teams played on Friday was a very close game.
Looking at the other results Adelaide City/Birkalla, Croydon/Raiders, Cumberland/Enfield All decided by 1 goal.
All you can do is play the team you are drawn against and do your best.

But the draw is not random and is stacked in favour of the Div A clubs.

Up and coming teams/ players get little or no cup experience, because the chances are they are knocked out in the first or second round.

A purely random draw providing a genuine cup competition - how hard is that? I'd have nuthin to whine about then. If people are worried about AFL type scorelines there are ways around that.

Ok so they pull it from a hat like previous years aand we get a B team through to the finals to geet slaughtered by an A team and we tell the lads, "we did well to get there, don't worry about the 6-0 whooping you just got, we'll learn from it and do better next year"

Been posted a number of times, you're not gonna please everyone all the time so take a number and phone someone who cares

didnt they say the same thing about cardiff city??
cup games are great for upsets!

[rus217]

maybe the A division should not enter into the cup draw until at least round 2. the same as the english league. at least it would save some of the C teams being killed in the 1st week.

look at adelaide city A's team beating a C team 30-nil
