Main points from meeting: Changing the agegroups to 40+, 50+. Find good alternative for 30+ to keep them playing.

Keep Masters games Saturday afternoons 2:30 and if any games need to be changed most preferred the Sunday slot as lots of Masters coach Junior teams so struggle to make the 12:30 games.

Masters need to stay 11v11 full pitch..perhaps shorten game times?

Comments in Mainland newsletter were Coggan's views only did add to the discussion and was perhaps why there was such a good turnout last night.

Great recommendation was a couple of 45+ Masters festivals through the season where all teams play at one ground i.e. Warren park. Means you may miss out on a home game but great social opportunity with perhaps a sponsor coming on board i.e. Robbies.

Regarding the grading games most thought it was a bad idea at the time but they did enjoy playing different teams on different grounds than they usually would and wasn't too bad in the end..Hopefully don't need to do it again with relegation/promotion needed from now on.

Thanks for that...

The oldest in our squad of 20 is 43 and there's 5 of us over 40, we however have 13 in the 35-39 bracket and 2 34 yr olds.

That would be disappointing if we were forced to play in a different grade. Hopefully if teams are currently in Masters then they will be able to stay and it's only new teams forced to abide by the 'new' rules...
