Mainland Premier League 2021

All Whites 82

Fixtures for the 381st and final ever round of the MPL.
Friday 7:30pm
Christchurch United vs Coastal Spirit 
Saturday
11.30am
Cashmere Technical vs. Nelson Suburbs
2:45pm
Ferrymead Bays vs. Halswell 
Selwyn vs. Nomads
 

Surely in the interests of fairness all the last round should have been played at the same time! If Suburbs suffer a heavy loss then Selwyn and Nomads could technically team up to get the right score to allow them both into the Southern League and drop Suburbs out 🤔

These are inland clubs, not coastal.

Huh? What? 

Other transfer news:
Cameron Rean has moved to Coastal Spirit from Halswell

More comings and goings at Coastal Spirit with Aashish Rai transferring to Cashmere Technical.

Any truth to the rumour that Mika Rabuka is leaving Coastal?

Any truth to the rumour that Mika Rabuka is leaving Coastal?

 Mika was playing for Coastal against United this evening.

Wow, what a finish to the season with GD knocking Nomads into the bottom 3, and GD giving Western the CCL.

Yes and a great save (ball away for a corner) from PT from a Nomads penalty after 62 minutes - Drama Rama as you would say

It’s a bit disappointing with the Chatham cup draw we didn’t get an early South Island league preview. 

Btw you guys probably seen it but there's a new South Island League thread up over here.

Christchurch United 4 (Oliver Colloty 2, James McClay, own goal) FC Twenty11 1 (Geoff MacIntyre) HT 4 - 0 

Coey Turipa in goals for FC, long time since his last appearance in mainland football.

Are the fixtures out for the reformed MPL league? Where can I find them

I believe a draft draw is with the clubs awaiting sign off.

Fixtures now up and due to get underway this weekend! What's everyones predictions?

IMO Cashmere and Chch Utd make the National League with Coastal running it close with the latter, Royals and Suburbs and Selwyn in the middle of the pack with maybe GI and Uni at the latter end. But really close expect everybody will win at least one maybe even at least two games. 

Bad weather has forced the bus bringing Nelson Suburbs south for their clash with Coastal Spirit in the opening round of the Southern League, to return back to Nelson so game has been postponed.

Remind me how it works for the three teams that get added to the SL for 2022?

The table is incorrect, Nomads v FC was 5-3 not 5-0

 Top team goes through, second team may have play-off against a Nelson Div 1 team. (only 2 go through to SL in 2022)

Is it not only 2 (or do Football South have a place too?) Winner goes into it and 2nd place may play off against a team from Nelson if they have put their name forward 

Yeah my maths just failed me for a moment, got it lol.

Football South not getting an extra team, and lowest finishing FS team in the Southern League has to playoff against the best of the rest. 

Bottom three MPL sweep CCL. Is the gap that big? I don’t think so but didn’t see those type of score lines after week 1. 

Any early league predictions? There will be one or two upset clubs that will miss the opportunity for a southern league space after the next 5 weeks

The table is incorrect, Nomads v FC was 5-3 not 5-0

 Have corrected now, and reposted table. Cheers

Due to the wet weather there was no games played the the Nelson Division 1 over the weekend.
