Dave Deacon Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 But they only had one game left to play didn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier Sixes Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 More a rule following than a withdrawl. The club was in chaos at the start of the year as the previous manager had no interest and two games were given as walkovers as no squad was organised.. I stepped in and steadied the ship and we have put a squad out every week, unfortunately Meva away clashed with the doubles golf championship a load of the lads were in, injuries, teachers away on holiday and suspensions coupled with the registration window closing meant we only had 7. We would have 20+ available for the final home game vs Lanivet, but the 3 strike rule was invoked, as it was with Tintagel a few weeks earlier. It wouldn’t have been fair for us to play Lanivet with an overpowered squad (by our standards) as we shouldn't be in the league by rule and as they still have a hand on second place. Just got to hope we get get voted back in at the AGM. scottyboy10 and Thecupfootballblogger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league can invoke point penalties against you like 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 12, 12 and so on but they can't remove you from the league without calling a meeting of all the clubs who then decide your fate. You'd have just had point deductions and financial penalties surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I would have taken the seven players(seven players is allowed) that were available and the result on the chin, if it meant continuing in the league...

Premier Sixes Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 I contemplated that, but I guarantee once I mentioned we were going with 7 that number becomes 4 or 5 as some of the lads wouldn't have wanted to waste their afternoon.

This has just happened to Polperro in the Duchy East and instead of treating the clubs in the league fairly and using the same rules as with Holywell and Tintagel - the league have gone back on their own rules and decided to not expunge them from the league. If the same rules were used as within the 2021/2022 season, Bude FC would now be champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
