IMPORTANT NOTICE:

To ensure that the the Mainland Premier League is fair to all sides and to assists those clubs that think it "club9s) must get sick of winning week after week" is has been decided to make some changes that will take effect immediately.

Cashmere Technical will be split into three teams: Cashmere, Technical and Woolston, with all three clubs to share the current points that Cashmere Technical have, i.e. 7 points each with the MPL now comprising of 10 teams to be played over two rounds, the other MPL teams will retain their existing points. In effect the seven rounds to date have been "seeding", rounds.

We reserve the right to made more changes to the league to ensure all teams can go into the final round still having a chance of winning the league - Note this is likely to be a team that has never won the MPL as senior football is not about winning.


Well done.Just as funny as.

You missed the part about not allowed to play players over age in this grade.

The 'board' did consider not allowing over age players in the MPl, after strong lobbying from several clubs that are convinced the MPL was all about developing players with the results well down the pecking order however it was felt if this this change had been adopted then the MPL would have to take a forced break during the school holidays similar to the Mainland Girls PL, sorry I mean the Mainland Women's PL

Another option that nearly got over the line was not awarding any points in the MPL but if was felt that additional resources would have to be taken on to HQ to administer this rule change.

One change we have up our sleeves is having a stand down period to any goal scorers but currently having talks with several key 'stake holders' to see how long the stand down period should be.
