PDL B can hardly be called senior football though, more like a top youth league for clubs that don't (or can't) actively compete in u18's div 1. Trouble is in christchurch as soon as a team can't cope with skill they respond by trying to kick the other team off the park, as opposed to just trying to play better. Its a real shame that a group of lads had to be pulled from a competition (if this is the reason) because a team took exception to them being talented, you have to wonder what was going through their heads if they were trying to pick fights with a group of 15 year olds :/
Not a good look at all if its true
Bit harsh, 99% of the burwood, varsity & pap redwood teams would be 19-20something, while the remaining clubs are all in PDL A and U/18 D1.
And I wouldn't say it was them trying to pick fights with 15 year olds either. Having been around the game long enough I've seen time and time again some of the young players who get fast tracked through the grades are cocky little sh*ts who throw the toys when things don't go their way and lash out.
One of the benefits of bringing a few talented players into senior club teams (as opposed to playing together en masse) is that there is a bit of experience around them to help them adjust - and pull their head in if need be.
