Jensen called into Ferns squad

Junior Football Ferns centre back Emily Jensen is in line to make her senior international debut after being named on Saturday as an injury replacement for the four-team invitational tournament in China starting next week.

The 18-year-old defender replaces Ali Riley with the fullback ruled out of the squad through injury just before departing for China; where the Football Ferns will meet the hosts, Korea DPR and Mexico.

Jensen, a member of the Mainland Pride team which took out the 2013 ASB Women’s League, joins CJ Bott and Evie Millynn as first-time Football Ferns squad members in China from the current New Zealand U-20 side.

New Zealand’s first match of the four-team tournament is against China on Tuesday 11 February

2x international transfers pending for western - new MPL recruits?

Workers here for repairs for earthquakes???

I realise this is Mainland Premier League Thread but thought some of you might know...

Does anyone know if MF allow a team to enter Masters 3? Or does there need to be a space (to avoid a bye) etc? For instance I know new teams have to enter Div 6.

We're pretty much all eligible for Masters (4 or 5 of us actually only a couple of years away from the 45+ grade!), so are looking to move grades this coming season.

Last season we wanted to move from Pres A to Pres B and they flatly refused and when I said a number of our older guys found the number of young teams in Pres A tough and would likely give the game away if made to stay in Pres A, they replied saying they wouldn't budge, we had to stay in Pres A and that it would be 'unfortunate' if we gave the game away.

So they were happy for 15 guys to stop playing the game rather than allow us to drop down a grade.

Thoughts?

Rumour on Facebook that Bays are paying a player $1000 a game?  Surely it hasn't got that bad has it???

Womens Div 1 and 2 need Halswell White and Coastal to drop down to Div 2 and Selwyn & Mid Canterbury to step up to Div 1.... Those 2 sides are better than most of the Div 1 sides!

Yeah, a number of things raised eyebrows.
