this is State League 1 in W.A


so Dianella are champions and have automatically promoted to the NPLWA ,


the play off draw for the promotion/relegation are as follows

Semi Finals

Fremantle City NPL V Kingsley Westside SL1

UWA Nedlands FC V Joondalup City


also relegated to SL2 is Gosnells City

and Kalamunda City will be the in the SL1/SL2 relegation/promotion playoffs m SL2 have one round to go which is next weekend

WA State League 2 :





Still a lot to play out here in SL2 , with the last official round this Saturday , but there is still 2 catch up games which could have big impacts on the playoffs and relegation fight . and wanneroo City currently occupy the playoff relegation spot

Quinns FC are champions and will be promoted automatically to SL1 , and Swan United are in the dreaded relegation spot. ( not automatically relegated , please see below for rules into that

Article 6 – Relegation to Amateur Premier League 1. Subject to the paragraphs mentioned below, the Club whose First Team finishes in last place in Division 2 will occupy a relegation position and may be relegated to the Men’s Amateur Premier League. The Club whose First Team finishes in second last position in Division 2 will Play-Off against the Club whose First Team finishes in second position the Men’s Amateur Premier League. 2. The Club whose First Team finishes in first position in the Amateur Premier League may, but is not compelled to, exercise its option to have its Team promoted to Division 2 of the State League provided they have met State League eligibility requirements. 3. Should the Team that finishes in first position in the Men’s Amateur Premier League choose not to exercise its option of promotion to the State League or not be eligible. The Team that finishes in second position in the Men’s Amateur Premier League will compete in a Play-Off with the last placed Team in State League Division 2. 4. Subject to paragraph 3, the second last placed Team in State League Division 2 will compete against the third placed Team in the Men’s Amateur Premier League.

also this in regards to the Relegation/promotion from our State League there is still 3 rounds to go including today.

here is the table still quite a few catch up games to be played too.




so in regards to clubs saying yes to promotion via winning the league automatically , or second and third places respectively could have the chance via a playoff with the 11th placed SL2 side .

North Perth , who are leading will say no , there a really strong Sunday league side and there happy to stay Sunday league.

Emerald FC , have said yes and will just need to develop a under 18;s side next year , which is easy in this state.

Morley Windmills , first year outside of the state league after being relegated last year have said yes

Kelmscott Roos , former state league were relegated 4 years ago and have now making a real good crack to get back up have said yes

North Beach : there 50/50 , they would easily be able to say yes as they have a good junior set up however whether the club wants to move is not sure

the rest are to far back .

Georgies and bentleigh back up

City youth choke on the last day

Here hoping both them and western don't make it through the playoffs as well

As for the game this week

Oakleigh have proved they can't adequately host big crowds already

Move it to HOTM. Let fv take on the costs and the sales.

It'll be common sense to do so...no more excuses this time.

Has there been any word on when these fixtures will take place??

Friday Night will be the ultimate..but with the FV anythings possible!

No way, we earned the right to have a home game therefore we should be allowed to pick where we want to play if our home ground isn't available, providing another club is willing to let us play on their ground.

yep kudos to Spirit - they have been a bolter this season imo.
Good start of the season set their path and they went on with it.
Marconi dropped the ball, APIA did a little less but recovered well and played some good football, best GF @ 74.
Rockdale's 9 draws hurt any chance finishing higher.
SU absolute horror 1st round and all up losing 9 + 7 draws says it all.

L1 getting tight as well who finishs 1st.
Uni on top by 1point above Raiders.
Uni play 4th placed Tigers whereas Raiders play 4th last Dully.

call the Bergers, I think they are the only club still talking to Aki these days...

Go on, make it easier for the Preston fans to travel down the road rather than cross town.

new grandstand Oakleigh fans, Preston fans likely in the current grandstand for elimination final at Jack Edwards Reserve (Josh Parish told me Sunday 3.30pm waiting on FV official confirmation).

He was also unclear on when the Dandenong Derby will be but he said would assume Saturday night 7.00pm at George Andrews Reserve (again waiting on FV official confirmation) as that is their usual preferred timeslot.
