Interested in an explanation on the re-grading of the U17.5 Girls competition. TTG were undefeated in 4 games in the Div 3 comp, yet got relegated to Div 4. Edwardstown were 2nd in Div 3, but got promoted to Div 2. Lockleys were bottom of Div 4 but got promoted to Div 3. Glenunga had the same record as Edwardstown in Div 3 but were unchanged.
I'm not involved in those clubs but my daughter is in another 17.5 girls division & team.
Div 4 is/was the hybrid U16 merged with U17.5 comp for those clubs that could only get a 16's or couldn't manage to get a full side in either. There was going to be a standalone U16 comp but with only 9 teams it was decided to put them into a Div 4 comp where they could play each other in U17.5's and allow some of the top end age to fill in for them or top their squads up.
So some of those U16s teams would have been ex Div 1 under 15's.
Therefore, Div3 could be a lower standard than Div4.
Mind you, I can't follow the TTG logic at all. Lockleys almost makes sense, because they've been moved to the 'weakest grade' of U17.5's.
Makes sense huh?
