In South Australia tonight, Campbelltown beat Adelaide Comets 1-0 and WT Birkalla thumped Para Hills 11-0. After 18 rounds, Para Hills has a record of 0-1-17 and a goal difference of -80. The worst NPL side in memory, possibly ever.

So the 2 South Australian qualifiers are placed 5th in the NPL & 8th in State League 1. Not sending our best, are we?

It seems that the schedule has been flipped so that Cumberland/Cobras will be played on June 10th & Beograd/Birkalla will be played on June 17th.

I thought representative/all-star sides were banned from the comp. This 2025 Tasmania pdf is the closest I can get to finding the official rules: I assume an exemption was made here.

Ouch.

Allegedly there was some sort of vague, abstract connection to the New York MetroStars in the late-90's, which is why they changed their name from the Metro Knights to the MetroStars, so they've had that name for over 25 years now. The name's awful, but it's been there too long to change, really.
