Masters shouldn't be graded or scores kept or played at same time as MPL. Let's see these passionate footballers passionately supporting their clubs' first teams or coaching or reffing or administering. Masters should only ever be social football. Turn up. Have a kick around, a few laughs and a beer.
No way is it social until after the whistle. Masters Div 1 is for MPL reserves to keep the skills honed. Nomads to have two of last season 1st team in Masters.
Don't know how MF get out of this mess. I am surprised given some of their decisions in the past where they don't consult with anyone, and just make rules for everyone that this time they went and asked for the clubs opinions.
They should have just said 2 leagues of 12 and be done with it, sure it would mean 3-4 tough games a year for the current Masters 2 teams, but that's not an insurmountable issue I wouldn't have thought...
