Anyone know what happen with Youth Football grades? Grades 1 and 2 just posted now when rest was posted earlier in the week and now it's called premier and Youth 1 changing all the other grade numbers and there is an extra team in Youth 1 causing a bye. Note there is three Wellington College teams listed in top two grades.
Just what I heard...Allegedly
In the Youth Pool 2 Grading - Going onto the last game Scots needed to win by about 11-0 v Upper Hutt College to qualify in 3rd place (Original rules were for top 3 to qualify for Premier Youth) . But Upper Hutt defaulted, therby only giving Scots a 2-0 win and condeming them to 4th place in the grading round, relegating them to the next Division down , missing out on the Youth Premier Grade & maybe even missing out on the National Schools Championship Top competition, who knows ?
Thats not fair cried Scots who played their Joker (Dont know if theres anyone on the Scots board with influence at College Sport ?) - anyway, the Premier Comp has been changed to 8 teams instead of 6 - allowing Scots & Rongotai who finished 4th in their respective grading leagues into the top tier.
Interestingly Kapiti finished level on points with Scots but with an inferior goal difference - and they also had a 2-0 default win from Upper Hutt earlier in the season - Maybe if that game was protested like Scots have done Kapiti would have gone through ?
Upper Hutt then lost a playoff v Rathleake 11-0 , and maybe they've now pulled out completely causing the "bye" in the lower grade .
Wow thanks for this. I did notice that the grades have gone to 8 teams and the Div 1 has 9 with a bye and thought that was stupid. Then notices Upper Hutt 1XI is no longer there. Though I do note they have a 2XI futher down the grades that will probabely run away with it if it takes the 1XI boys.
