Still no spot for Nix Reserves who I guess who are playing U17 boys again, or will they bump down a grade to be more evenly matched
Unless they play their Reserves (ie no off-season pros) and don't play for points I don't see it being worth it nor working (them being in the WCL). It felt like the girls couldn't field a team for weeks on end in the boys leagues due to abstractions ... so it would make a mockery of the top amateur Women's League if we just moved them there because 'the men have one' - especially now that there are National League qualification opportunities. We have already seen the impact it can have on the Men's Central League, let's learn from our mistakes and not rush into anything. Having an U17 and U20 World Cup (near) annually now will further compound these issues.
If they didn't play for points (in either the MCL or the WCL league) that could possibly work and alleviate some of the issues we are seeing.
