Canterbury Premier League

Canterbury United is a regional club that has support from people from other city clubs.

Christchurch United is a city club that has support from its members. 

Despite its poor financial form, I hope Canterbury Utd stays as our regional representative team.

Canterbury Championship League

Burwood 1 Christchurch United 5

Parklands 2 Halswell 0

St Albans Shirley 1 Universities 2

Waimakariri the bye

Updated Table:

Score is correct but Parklands were away ?

Benchwarmer is correct Chch United have only won the CCL first 2 rounds. As decided by clubs at the start of the year, the CCL winner of the MPQL (7 CCL plus 3 bottom MPL) gets possible promotion, the lowest MPL gets demoted to CCL in 2020. Yes FC Nelson have registered interest - this assumes they will Nelson Div 1.

So theoretically possible for Chch United to miss out on a possible MPL promotion game with FC Nelson, but very unlikely.

Yes correct, still one round to play including the 3 bottom MPL teams. Points carry on including goals for and against etc.

Bottom of the 3 MPL teams after the round go down and top of the CCL goes into the play-off or goes up if no play-off.

Hearing the draw gets released today for these games

Christchurch United 7 Waimakariri 2

Parklands 1 St Albans Shirley 2

Universities 0 Burwood 0

Halswell the bye

Updated table

Unsure if a date has been set for the catch-up game in thee CCL between Burwood and Halswell has been set yet but here is the the table should look like at the moment for the Mainland Premier Qualifying League, with points and goals carrying over fron the CCL and bottom three from the MPL.

I heard rumours it was Tuesday coming up but not sure if it’s locked in. Aren’t the 2 tables being kept separate or has that all changed since early season?

Ok that maybe just making an incorrect assumption so may like like this

Doesn't really matter though does it?

FC get demoted, Christchurch go to MPL - apart from keeping everyone playing football - seems like a fore gone conclusion

Dbl post

Sounds like FC Nelson are looking for promotion if they win the Nelson Bays Div 1 - the are currently on top of the table, so if it stay that way would be a play-off, home and away, with the top side form the CCL to see which side will goes up.

Taking Burwood win their game in hand Christchurch Utd only need to win 4 of their 9 games to go up! If Burwood lose to Halswell it would only be 3 wins needed!

Fixtures are also out. Kick off times at 2.45pm

Round 1 games:

Ferrymead v Parklands 

Selwyn v Halswell 

Chch Utd v Uni

Burwood v FC Twenty

Waimak v SAS

The MPQL tables are not separated. FC Nelson have expressed interest in the promotion match. Burwood v Halswell catch up not set yet, and can be played anytime. Aiming for this coming week if both teams and Mainland agree (English Park).

    Chch Utd will no doubt defer this week's game with a slightly more important match that evening

Parklands above halswell now, got the points right just not their ladder position.

Cheers forget to 'sort' on points. Will update now and repost as due to points carrying over cannot use my normal league tracking program.

Corrected now.

Interesting game today, I did not expect us to win with all the missing players we had (3-4 usual players out, good thing all other games were cancelled as we would have struggled for 11 - but I suspect not uncommon with most clubs at the moment). Wanna shout our to Reserves lads who stepped up. I think the result was correct based upon chances and the hard work by the Burwood lads. There are no simple equations to our success, comes down to great work by our coaches, and hard work by our players. And at times we struggle, but as a small club we don't give up - my opinion maybe. The club cry is Up The Wood (UTW) - not chosen by me, but all the lads are into it. As well all our lads (all teams) pay the same subscriptions - I wonder how many clubs can say this :). I'd love to have the $$$ as Ch$rubles$ United, but I'd much rather be in my club - happy not to buy leagues.

Thanks Le Mur, your boys seem to be over achieving this year, great to see. Along with Parklands too, used to be the two of the less successful teams in CCL but are having good seasons so far. Particularly parklands with a slow start to the season for them (penny for your thoughts benchwarmer?) Great having some good competition in the CCL rather than just a few teams doing well, despite United in the league.

You still have the actual teams the wrong way around

We’ve a very young squad across both Firsts and Reserves and so with a new coach this year too it has taken time for players to bed in. Other than a couple of old hands the majority of our wider squad are under the age of 25, with a large majority still eligible for 19th Grade.

If the squad can stay together over the next few years, as well as adding in the 17th grade players that have in recent weeks been getting some action in the Reserves grade then we’ve a chance to continue to grow.

Removing Christchurch United, who should go up even with a potential play off games, next season’s CCL could be very open

I agree with you benchie, be very interesting season next year. Great too hear you guys have some young players coming through. Hope this means the longevity of any future success Parklands has is constant. Didn’t know how young the make up of the parklands squad was (including reserves). 

Wasn't someone bagging Parklands and Burwood at the beginning of the season? Seems they may have some egg on their face...
