para hills will not be in div 5 for long, our div 5 side is actually pretty decent. their div 4 side will need to move up also as they will spank sides! do this ASAP FFSA so the leagues can settle down.
div 2, nil all at half time with both sides playing some good football. very happy to get the result first up!
how is PH United a break away club? They've had junior girls teams in the FFSA leagues before, and still do, calling themselves Para Hills Juniors, so really they're a growing club.The General wrote:Overheard on the grapevine that the Para Hills div 4 + 5 teams are way below their level.
If true, question is should they take out their frustration on all the other teams in those divisions by smashing them ? What good will that do them,for their development, what benefit will it be to the other clubs who are very much social leagues with a lot of beginners,if the div 4 game I saw last Sunday,at underdown park is anything to go by.
Seriously, what is going on ?
I understand that FFSA is trying to stop breakaway clubs happening,but who are they really punishing, the breakaway club, or the other teams in those divisions ?
So by appeasing one club,all the other clubs in div 4 + 5 are getting smashed,maybe they are all better off forfeitingthemagnet wrote:how is PH United a break away club?

And in that case, it's insane that they've had to play div 4 and 5, they are far more advanced than any teams that are playing in those leagues, which, like you've said, are basically beginners leagues. Some of these girls have been playing for most of their lives and some even have prems experience. Rumors I've heard is that FFSA held them back to appease another club, and that their results would be watched closely.
Agreed. FFSA have made the wrong call here IMO. And yeah, my club is considering forteitingCaretaker Coach wrote:So by appeasing one club,all the other clubs in div 4 + 5 are getting smashed,maybe they are all better off forfeitingthemagnet wrote:how is PH United a break away club?

I can tell you that they are a breakaway club,apparently used to be known as the P H Knights,apparently, due to an internal dispute ,decided to move where the " grass is greener" on the other side of the fence, literally. They changed their name, "changed grounds" so they are classed as new club,and rules state for all new clubs to start from the bottom divisions,from what I am told. maybe the FFSA /SAWSA have that rule to try try and encourage clubs to work harder to try and reconcile and work harder to sort out their differences,rather then take the easier option of relocating as another club.themagnet wrote:how is PH United a break away club?

Yeah, I'm aware that most of the girls are from Knights, but to me, they've 'joined' PH Juniors (taking their name, club logo, players) rather than being a breakaway.Caretaker Coach wrote:I can tell you that they are a breakaway club,apparently used to be known as the P H Knights,apparently, due to an internal dispute ,decided to move where the " grass is greener" on the other side of the fence, literally.

I'd like to hear the exceptional circumstancesCLUB RESPONSIBILITIES
