AW82, not sure if this has been asked previously but if Fc2011 finish 4th that must be close to being the best finish after being promoted. Glenn has done a great job with that side.
Hi Reddevil,
I looked this up just the other day.
FC have certainly down well this season.
Both ChCh Technical (2004) and Coastal Spirit (2011) both finished in third place after winning promotion but technically Ferrymead Bays would hold the record when winning in 2002. This was the first season of the league and Bays did not take part in the former Canterbury League in 2001, but won the old CFA Div 1 to gain entry into the inaugural MPL in 2002.
Out of interest here are the teams in the Canterbury League in 2001 in finishing in order and points.
Halswell 54
Rangers 51
ChCh United 48
Western 43
Nelson Suburbs 36
ChCh City 33
Avon United 28
Marlborough United 24
Nomads 24
Canterbury University 15
New Brighton 11
Mid Canterbury 10
Kevin Mulgrew -Halswell coach.
Colin Curry - Rangers. I think.
The late Ron Provan likely to have been coaching.
