Will be interesting to see what impact the up coming release of the review on the future of the National League has on the MPL, review likely to come out any time.
Indications is that review will recommend that the NL will have more rounds, so if it stays as a summer competition then will cut across the end of the MPL season. The impact will be major if the NP reverts back to winter but this seems unlikely, if they wish to maintan coverage on Sky.
The review also likely to look at the competitions below NL so maybe even goes as far as pushing for a regional league e.g. South Island League/ Southern League.
