@Gurps . Good eye. Just so we are clear my bag of dicks was for you winning the football pool this week. How was the Sandwich?
Sandwhich was about 1 toothpick out of 5. I felt full and different.
We are surprised that because AKAL FC folded we had a 'BYE' game last week-end without 3 points knowing NVFC Norvan Vikings got a 'forfeited' game the previous week-end counted as a 3-0 victory (3 points + 3 goals). It doesn't seem fair that a team got 3 points on the return games while other teams of Div3-B will get no points.
I hope the VMSL will clarify the situation...
I agree with SoccerMom about Strathcona being the team to beat in our pool, but their upcoming clash with Westside will be a huge determinant of the eventual pool winner.
Reported as 0-0 on the Most Excellent site. No, I wasn't there.Any match report from the 1-1 Strathcona/Westside tie?
Stalemates in the top table clashes in both 3A and 3B, keeps things very interesting in the promotion race with GFC and Strathcona failing to take over control of the groups and West Coast and Westside missing a chance to establish some breathing room. Instead the rest of the field all make up ground. Things are just as tight over in 3C as well where once again none of the big boys will clash this weekend after all holding serve last weekend. All in all a really entertaining Division 3 this season and don't forget the closest race might in fact be for the second place promotion spot offered up by Sea to Sky dropping out of Division 2!
Rules state that three forfeits and you're out, so the Akal reboot has failed a year after being expelled from Division 1. As for the table, the rules say that if a team plays half the season (ie each of the other teams once), the results for the first half stand as is. Problem here is, Akal forfeit their final game of the first round against West Coast Saints, so technically they did not "play everybody once". The NorVan result from last weekend will certainly be changes to a "bye", but what of the other results? This happened last year with I believe a Burnaby Selects team in one of the Div. 3 groups and the results stood, up to the half way mark of the schedule. I believe this was challenged though as it was set to impact the promotion race, but, in the end, when it had no bearing on who was going up, it was dropped. Metropolital B is the only team to have dropped points to Akal this season and they are not involved at the top of the table so I am guessing the results will be left as is, expect for NorVan last week.
