Summary of our games this weekend available via https://bit.ly/2vMgu5n

Qualification for the South Island League is still very much to be decided, Mosgiel are safe you would think but there's still a chance that a number of teams could fill the other two spots.

That's pretty much the league as well isn't it? Mosgiel have Northern who leak goals and you have Tech - if Mosgiel go on a spree they could be out of sight by the final week!

Absolute disgrace that Southern football gives that trophy away after one round of football (8 or 9 games). Wouldn't happen anywhere else other than the shambles of a federation that's in Dunedin. Makes a mockery of the throphy. 

I would argue the biggest Football South mockery is the attempted monoplization of the artificial turfs that is happening already. They failed to think long term and plan for fencing and protection from the concrete slab that is exposed at the edges of the pitches, and whilst the turf is supposedly unfinished there are reportedly Southern United Academy trainings being run on them! Absolutely pathetic from Chris Wright and co - yes you may make a good amount of money with this academy but it shouldn't be at the expense of Otago senior football. It isn't just about Southern United every 4 months a year, and frankly this is what it feels like.

Oh and by the way (just in case there are any FS administrators that read this) - if the turfs are "unfinished" but you are allowing children to train on them still, have you thought about the reputational/legal/financial damage that could potentially ensue if a participant got hurt? Get it together!
