Lazy Monday perusal (gotta love that) of how the the main clubs are performing below MPL - at Mens Div1, PDL and Youth Div 1, nearing the half-way point in the season.
BIG CLUBS
FC20 - Div 1 side is 7th, the 2 PDL sides are both 7th in A and B leagues. The 18 DIV 1 side made the cut for new round. The two 17div 1 sides are 6th and 7th. For a club this size I would expect a little better. Looks like they might have spread themselves too thinly.
Cashmere - 2nd Div 1, 2nd PDL A, 5th PDL B, made cut 18 div 1, top17 div 1. Strong result, as to be expected, from a club of this size; scarily so given it is year 1 of merger.
Halswell - 6th Div1, 5th PDL A, equal top PDL B, missed cut 18 div 1, 2nd 17 div1. Solid.
SMALLER CLUBS - obviously need to focus teams based around available peronnel.
Coastal - last PDL A, 3rd 17div1. No div 1, or 18 div 1 grade teams
Bays - 3rd PDL A. No other teams in Div 1, 18 div 1, 17 div1
Western - top of PDL A. No other teams in Div 1, 18 div 1, 17 div1.
Chch Utd - 6th PDL A, made cut 18 div 1. No div 1 or 17 div 1 teams
Nomads - top div 1, 4th PDL A. No 18 div 1 or 17 div 1 team
WILL BE BIG CLUBS
Selwyn - 4th div 1, top PDL B (note: this team is almost entirely APFA boys, so most will move on elsewhere), no 18div1, 17 div 1 team is 5th
Waimak - 5th div 1, no teams 18 div 1 or 17 div 1
