Champs Premier League

Upper hutt were robbed of a point on saturday. They having a goal disallowed from a offside, even it was clearly off a petone head. Dumb F'n ref. But good game all up. How the hell do mark a 7foot giant in the air???????

get in there alright easty ride the pony kapiti

It looks like being a dogfight to get out of that 2nd bottom spot aye???

Upper hutt will kill Kapiti when they play at Harcourt. So lets now say bye bye to Brooklyn and Kapiti now. Hahaha

Don't know about that Axeman . It will depend on how Rooker and  Matty Bennett play . Those two can range from being superb to woeful . If they bring their A game they will destroy Kapiti but if they have an off day it could be a long day fir Upper Hutt .

Nah mate, Its going to be a long ride home for those kapiti boys. Rooker and Bennett have given the Upper Hutt boys the edge they have been missing for the last 2 years. Romour has it Andy Le Prou is coming back next year too??

I think with or with out rooker and bennit Upper hutt will beat kapiti at home and then they will beat Brooklyn aswell and kapiti wont win any more games as they dont have brooklyn in the run in.

Miramar won't drop any players for the game who wouldn't be playing for them if the first team had a game that weekend (assuming the firsts are not playing that weekend).

playoffs take place after the season has fully concluded dont they?

why would they not drop players? yea last years playoffs wur after the season

Its unlikely that the 1st team will still be playing when this game is beeing played, assuming that the format is the same as last year. Even if they were playing that weekend im sure unless the first team had a league clinching game that they would definitly put alot of emphasis on the promotion game and definitly drop 3 players to help put their club in the best position possible for next year. With the 1st team playing in central league and the 2nds playing in Champs premier that is the ideal situation and im sure Miramar will want that pritty bad!

they wouldn't drop players because the second team would not want them.

Jiz ur the daddy!

what are you on frankie mac its huge for a club to have a team in the top 2 leagues flag what your 2nd team players want its only 3players to help on the day its whats best for the club

Just like your dreams frankie mac. they are dieing. Mirimar will do what it takes to get there 2nds into  the premiers. GOOD BYE KAPITI, back where they belong. No more travel to that crap Weka park

personally I think that Miramar will win the league - the amount of goals they score is ridiculous, and I can see Marist dropping some more points as the grounds get heavier and suits their play less.

Marist will be in the play-off anyway. Mark my words.

Marist will be in the play offs. They need to get a new home ground tho, Kilbirnie is way to cold to play at. when that wind picks up brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

i'd prefer miramar to win the league, marist coach is a muppet

I agree with that.

Once the season is over for the 1st teams, any player who takes the field in there final match     can not play in any another team;  ie you can't regrade/drop  players if your season has been completed. 

so how did Jimmy Cudd, Michael Smith etc play for Wests in the NW vs Wests Promo/Relegation game a few seasons back?

They drop the players down in stages before the season finish; eg You could have your complete 1st TEAM  in the league below in 4 weeks .  

Chopper im afraid your wrong because last year I played in the promotion game against Marist in the Lower hutt reserve team and we were allowed to drop any 3 players from the 1st team who were signed and registered with the club and had played 2 league games in any division for the club, which we did, and probably ended up beeing the difference.

I think if they are looking at a future for the Central League they need to look at a Reserve League as well.  That would be a breeding ground for the younger players and would enhance the Capital Premier League as well.  Works in the NPL, which is probably the most competitive league going round at the moment

Sorry JD. They ran with that Reserve Team League system a while back. It sucked. Reserve teamers were totally disinterested in their league. Only cared about getting the chance to play first team. No promotion. No demotion. No passion. No good.

Add to my points above ...

We are talking about Premiership here lads...not Capital One!!!

Hi Easty, Don't where that rule is about signed and registered with a club and had played 2 games but  Player Eligibility Rule B; No more than three Central or Premier players can be regraded down into any local league for any one game.When the relevant Central or Premier league is completed NO further players can be regraded from such Central or Premier league team. Rule is quite clear.

think theplayers last year all played more than 2 games in capital 1 during the season or something along those lines

Upper Hutt wont be in the play offs. Brooklyn and Kapiti will be

upper hutt will stay up, sure they have rooker and bennet but the superstar is Ally Gonzalez

What good are superstars when the ground is so wet you cant pass a ball 3 yards.

I have to agree with wingback4eva. The weather is shocking, cant pass the ball through water. Have to chip it to each other.

Upper hutts game plan of kick and chase might work better in it.

All matches will be close this weekend
