South West Phoenix – item discussed from 7pm – 7:35pm with Jen Curtis attending

  • Jen informed the Exec that SWP had lodged an application to participate in the State League 2 (SL2) competition in 2020. A decision on this application is expected at the end of October. SWP had met the selection criteria and had received positive feedback from FW’s State League Standing Committee in discussing this initiative.
  • The issue of player shortages was raised and Jen informed the Exec that she had received verbal advice that the proposed model of SL2/SWSA registration would apply if the application was successful. The Exec indicated that they would require FW to provide written notification that this type of registration was to be permitted in 2020.
  • The Exec also reiterated that the invitation for SWP to participate in the SWSA Men’s Premier League was for 2019 only and was not likely to be available should the SWP application be unsuccessful.
  • Action: Jen to keep SG abreast of the outcome of the SWP application.
7.

Reviews

  • SW Cup Finals – a very well organised day, FMR to be congratulated for combining the opening ceremony & finals matches successfully on the day, great initiative involving the junior club members and it was good to see a smaller club venue being utilised. Some concerns about the lack of a formal presentation area and location of the bar.
  • Top4/Bottom4 – too many forfeits with a number of clubs not supporting the concept. This competition should not take place in 2020.
  • By-Laws – it was agreed to carry over this review until the next Exec meeting
