Time to prove a point.

Maybe to make it easier, how many goals would the Henley or SHOC B grade (Div 1R) beat their C Grade (Div 6,7) by? I would think shoc b grade all things being equal would beat the c grade by 15 goals. Would a div 5 club beat Henley or SHOC C grades by that much? Perhaps. Not sure?

this year im sure a div 5 club wouldve beaten henley by 15 goals. there was some big scores kicked against them. in saying that some weeks they were very very competitive.

Henley's C-Grade were on the wrong end of 90+ point thrashings at the hands of Glenunga and Kenilworth. Blackfriars also beat them by 20 goals in R17.

I think I could write compelling arguements for both cases so it is a matter of opinion and will always will be.

The only comparison that I can be certain of is between my club North Haven and our closest heighbour Port Districts because I know almost all the blokes that play there.

Obviously their Div 2 team would trounce our Div 5 team but our Div 5 team would equally hammer their Div 2R team which I think clears up absolutley nothing but thought I would share

I think we get the picture mate, you say it best when you say nothing at all

Nice try here Boosh. The only problem with this example is that Port District B grade this year were terrible and finished equal bottom where as North Haven's A grade were reasonable and finished in the top 5.
I think we will find this is a year by year thing. The standard of whatever grade will change yearly, it's just a fact of football.
But if we compare the average for the year in both a high divisions reserves side vs a low divisions A grade e.g. 5th vs 5th or top vs top, that is the closest cmparision we will get.

The Henley c grade example is way off as your talking about 21 guys who are all below the standard of the 21 guys running around in the b grade. That is why their playing c grade for the club. If Henley's C grade got within a few kicks or won any games against a clubs A grade team we wouldn't be having this conversation.

I know it isn't an answer to the big question but it is the only comparison I can make with any sort of accuracy

Your Div 5 team didnt even win half their games Boosh. I know their Div 2 res only won 4 games but yous only won 8 games out of 18 so I rekon if you were looking for a comparison you would be playing the reserves and not smashing them by as much as you think.

Exactly, so wouldn't it be plausible to suggest that a side who is thrashing a C-Grade team likely to be competitive against the B-Grade. The top sides in Div 5 would have handed out much worse than 100-point wins against Henley's C-Grade this year, so it stands to reason that that Div 5 team could be competitive with Div 1R teams.

I think the key word there is competitive. I have no doubt a top div4 or 5 team would be competitive with the likes of Henley 1R or SHOC 1R, but competitive is a long way from winning. My money would still be with the reserves side.

Henley C grade has beaten many A grades in the past. This year was probably the weakest Henlety C grade in 5 years fwiw.

I think they'd be close games that could go either way.

Div 1R by shitloads

Having seen quite a few Div 5 games, and comparing to the standard of SHOC and Henley Div 1R, the Div 5 teams would not even be close. To be honest, SHOC Div1R would have gotten very close to the bottom two Div 1 teams in the last couple of years.
Always a matter of opinion though.

The top 5 teams yes, but the bottom half of Div1 res can fall away. SHOC's Div 7 team from 2011 would have been right up there, some 12 odd players of that team played Div 1r and they have become an incredibly strong club of late. I guess it is only fantasy until the teams actually play each other aye?

[Bluedemon]

any latest?

oh nup...I've had a million other things to worry about.

Would still be good to do if we can get the numbers...
