Central League play-offs

Scenario 1:
- UH stay in Cap Prem.
- Naenae drop to Cap 1.
- Wainuiomata promoted to Cap Prem.
- Olympic play KCU for their Cap Prem spot.

1.Upper Hutt City
2.Wellington United
3.Waterside Karori
4.Stop Out
5.Miramar Rangers
6.Island Bay United
7.Marist
8.Western Suburbs
9.Wainuiomata
10.Kapiti Coast United/Olympic



Scenario 2 (this is where it gets complicated):
- UH go up to Central League.
- Wainuiomata promoted to Cap Prem.
- Olympic play KCU for one Cap Prem spot as per normal. Winner in Cap Prem for 2011.
- 9 teams confirmed, who gets the last spot, Naenae or the loser of Oly v KCU? (discuss)

1.Wellington United
2.Waterside Karori
3.Stop Out
4.Miramar Rangers
5.Island Bay United
6.Marist
7.Western Suburbs
8.Wainuiomata
9.Winner of Kapiti Coast United v Olympic
10.Naenae or loser of Kapiti Coast United v Olympic



Luckily Upper Hutt are unlikely to go up so it will be 'Scenario 1' - KCU and Olympic play for the last spot in Cap Prem.

EDIT: The only issue is if UH go up, who gets the last spot? But as I said, unlikely.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

both those scenerios are just simply not possible....

OK, that makes sense. Bring on scenario 2 to make it interesting.

What happened when Petone went Central ?  Anyone remember ?

are you talking actual or ideal here? Cos actual is Naenae would stay up and Bubbles would stay down

didn't marist beat upper hutt in play off. brooklyn relegated, upper hutt stayed in cap prem

What's the pitch looking like for Saturdays game?

if UH had any sense then the opposite to the pitch up there

What's the weather like? 

yeah good was on it yesterday (during my fitness training) not to soft, just been rolled and mown , had dried out pretty good

UH were losing 2-1 when I left with about 10 to play.

Ended up 5-1 

Thought it was 4-1? Maycenvale all class. Will beat Taranaki easy I reckon. Number 8 in the midfield very handy young player who is he? Will do well in CL

Might have been 4-1, just a handful there at the end.

Maycenvale 1 - 0 Team Taranaki

The end is nigh for TT?

Wouldnt be counting TT out yet.They do have home advantage for the final game.

thats a great result for TT. Maycenvale have been scoring at will. At home you would have to back TT to win and go through. An away goal though would give them kittens. 

One football administrator who agrees entirely is Team Taranaki chairman Paul Stancliffe-White.

"I think at the end of the day, the game on Saturday is in their hands. They have got to beat Maycenvale by two clear goals and if we get lots of people along to support them it will help lift the team and hopefully we can do the business," said Stancliffe-White yesterday.

He said mission accomplished, then the Team Taranaki board would start building on plans to make some changes next year so Team Taranaki don't end up in the same position again.

Going back to the start in 2003, the majority of football clubs in the province wanted to play at a higher level, but no club side wanted to make the financial commitment to do so due to costs.

So Team Taranaki was formed under the same auspices as Christchurch City and Team Wellington, both composite sides.

"All the football clubs were asked for their input and with the exception of just four of the 13 senior mens' clubs signed up with Team Taranaki," said Stancliffe-White yesterday.

The seven and two high schools who signed the dotted line were Hawera, Eltham, Kaponga, New Plymouth Boys' High, Francis Douglas Memorial College, New Plymouth Rangers, Moturoa, Inglewood and Peringa United.

"It works well, but if I had a whinge as a chairman I would say in the four years that I have been part of the board only two clubs have really been involved with the running of Team Taranaki and that would be New Plymouth Rangers and Peringa United."

"It would be good to get some new blood in there and a little bit more support from an administration and governance perspective from those other clubs. I think the concept is great. It allows those players that want to play at the highest domestic level to do so."

Team Taranaki developed an under-19 feeder team two seasons ago
