All interesting comments around this University issue. I believe that the Mainland rules state that any complaint around ineligible players must be made by midday the following friday after any league game. Therefore nothing can be done in relation to div 1, however the Chatham cup is a different story. Disappointing outcome for them, by all reports they have a talented squad


Yes they are definitely a talented squad, and yes under the new rule a complaint falls outside of the required period. 

However hard to argue that it brings the game into disrepute which falls squarely under several NZF and MF rules with disciplinary options possible. No time limit on any of that.  This should be more than an embarrassment to the clubs involved, and not something MF can disregard especially since NZF is aware of the situation.



I went to watch the varsity game after seeing their  Chatham cup performance. After the game the waimak coach refused to shake hands with some of the uni boys, and soon a scuffle occurred in the changing rooms entrance between the waimak and refereeing officials, all the while verbal abuse was thrown around the ground by the waimak supporters. Disciplinary action will surely be coming for the coach. I dont think the waimak players had much to do with it, and must be pretty embarrased of their coach. The uni boys did a cheer and went to do their warm down on another field away from allthe commotion. 
If anyone is bringing the game into disrepute, it's definitely not varsity.
