Sunday 2nd Div Promotion and relegation

[magic]

Interesting.round in Div 2 this week.
Westies top the league on 18pts but must be disappointed with a 3-3 draw with second bottom Savoy yesterday.
That result gives Easties (14pts)a chance to close the gap to 1pt if they can beat the struggling Angle Vale (8pts).
Raptors (12pts) host Knights (12pts) in the match of the round.
The losers would be left 5pts from the promotion spot.
Vista (12pts)will be keen to cash in and improve thier promotion chances with a win over bottom placed Macedonia (3pts).
The Macedonia hierarchy may have to ring some big changes to maintain thier 2nd Div status as will Savoy and the disappointing Foxes.
Pontian(10pts) play Ghan(10pts) with the winner distancing themselves from the bottom 3 clubs

[churchill]

It also gives the other top half of the group to catch up to the top 2 teams with some the teams closing the gap to PHW within 3 pts making the next half of the season a very tight affair for the top 2 spots.

[Getinthere]

Sounds like a typical 2nd division season. If you don't play well anyone can beat you on their day.

[magic]

It's definitely typical 2nd Division !!
If clubs dont prepare for this league properly it will cost them.
Only 3 points separate the top 4 clubs.
Westies (18pts)still on top but only by a point to Easties (17pts)who smashed a sadly disorganised Angle Vale 7-1.
Knights are 3rd (15pts) after a solid 2-0 win over Raptors.
Vista (15pts) kept the pressure up by thumping a hopeless Macedonia 6-0.
Raptors (12pts) lead Ghan and Pontian both on 11 puts are still within striking distance.
Angle Vale (8pts), Savoy (4pts) and Macedonia (3pts) look like the ones to fight the relegation battles.
Goal averages will be at a premium to decide promotion and relegation so look out for some high scoring games.

So how does it work, is it a straight 2 up, 2 down? (new to amateurs)

Top 2 up, bottom 2 down.

2 go up 2 come down from the Premier Division....
Unless a team in the Premier Division folds or moves to perceived greener pastures...then 3 will go up but still only 2 down.
However, if they (the SAASL) decided to make the Premier Division a 12 team Division then it might be 4 teams go up...and still only 2 down.
Unless they decide 2 will go up and there will be no relegation from the Premier Division.
However it is more than likely the first option of 2 up 2 down.
Hope that is clearer now

LOL...I need a like button...

Thank you (I think)

Believe me Swanny - the grass is greener on the other side now we have seen the other side

Maybe, but sometimes it can be so much more expensive keeping the grass greener when you are there.

LOL, we've just come from the other side.....so far less Barossa Pearl here

Would had been more goals but for some fine saves by the Macedonia goalie particularly a belter of a 10 m volley near RH post from a MV player

Was it the old guy in goals again? massive (Serbian I think) bloke who has been there for years? he is an absolute gun!

Its probably him - he is certainly tall and strong and can easily play in the NPL without no doubt - to stop that 10 m volley was impressive !

Macedonia pathetic today, Easties won 7:0 in first team. Couple of players decided arguing with the fans than concentrating on the football

[Mr Football]

Only 3pts separate top 4. Too hard to pick at this stage but looks to be a interesting season

[Chaos]

Wait...maco luring back musti...

[swannsong]

Wait...maco luring back musti...

I think he is helping out his old club on the coaching side during the week but still playing for Farm...

[magic]

Savoy are getting the best results of the bottom three.
Angle Vale have fell apart from the team that promised so much last year.
Macedonia have been poor all year and.have to react quickly and install some quality players/coaches to save thier 2nd Division status.
Interesting this week. Macedonia vs Angle Vale. Macedonia cannot afford to draw.
