I agree with Stretford Ender.. Need to go back to the Fred Simpson days when there were 2 year bands. Each of the Div 1 teams were only allowed�4 Academy / Rep / Mainland players in their team. This meant all teams in the Div1 were evenly balanced and all the games were competetive.
Now the "Mainland" coach takes all his Canterbury players to either Tech, Coastal or whoever and have a totally lop sided league and crap scorelines... Who wins?
Usually the team with the most goals
Yep usually, as in not always.
In 2009 Coastal Spirit beat Halswell 10-0 in the women's MPL but due to both teams fielding ineligible players the result became a 3-0 loss to both teams.
