Back to the Uni decision, the press release says they will be credited 15 points of the 28 they were deducted. They were on 15, and I guess they were taken back to -13?  I thought they were on -12 but never mind. 


If they add the 15 points to their -12, that comes out at 3 points, and they have since won games since the Chatham cup weekend on 11 May  (I'm guessing 3 games?) so shouldn't they go up to 12 points?  


It could be a big deal with them not playing Chch Utd again so theoretically if Utd don't drop points against the other six teams they will win the league and get promoted.  Uni at least have a chance against the other teams as they have to play them.

Whilst I was all for Uni's getting the additional points they lost back I don't see how they can appeal the additional points and the results!?!?!

At the end of the day, whether they meant to or not, they fielded an illegal player for those games. If they are able to appeal this and get their points back then what is the point of registering anyone at your club? You may as well just pick a squad of 16 you want each game and play them! Then when it is appealed just use this case as a precedent.
Yes I know they are probably appealing along the grounds that an appeal has to take place within 7 days, but at the end of the day they cheated, end of..... as Waimak Women's Div 2 side did last Sunday too (and they still lost!).......
