Good on Sunshine Heights. Put the onus back onto HQ to make a decision and show their cards. Now this is getting interesting ....

Floodgates have opened. They can't deny this request surely. I can assume they are probably worse off than Parkside..

Western Region Football League CEO Bob Tregear today corrected rumours of a move by the Sunshine Heights Football Club to Division Three.
The statement comes after a local newspaper reported that the league would consider relegating Sunshine Heights to Division Three in light of recruitment problems.
While some may believe the decision to drop the Parkside Football Club from Division One to Division Three earlier this month has set a precedent for any club struggling with numbers, Tregear reaffirmed that the current eight team fixture for the 2015 Division Three competition will not be amended.
“The Parkside decision was made after lengthy engagement with the club and the WRFL Board is comfortable with the decision in that case.
“That move was made possible because of an existing bye in the Division Three fixture.
“With round 1 less than two weeks away, it would not be possible to disrupt every other Division Three club by re-fixturing to a new key at this stage,” Tregear said.
“The league will continue to work closely with the Sunshine Heights Football Club and its committee to assist with recruitment issues, however their immediate playing future for 2015 season is in Division Two.”
Sunshine Heights will meet Glen Orden in Round 1 on April 11.

I just have no idea what the thought process was, I'm pretty sure the WRFL knew SH were struggling, big footy knew
I was talking to some people who had some involvement at the club last season and even they agreed they shouldn't been forced to play D2 and sunshine heights be sent to d3

Caroline springs playing Riddell at Caroline Springs tonight at 6pm. 6quarters!
Game called off. Intraclub instead.
What about me?
Rookie
from the look of clearances out being 17 and the fact only two in but i think they are juniors I doubt they will be able to field two teams.
Sad day for a proud club.
But on a positive side I see they have 3 junior teams being 9's, 11's, 13's
Should be in div 3 what a disgrace the league is ATM parkside shoulda stayed in divison 2 sunny heights down to div 3 gotta feel for robbie great bloke

Sunny heights should have forfieted there practice games due to numbers.
This would then put them in exactly the same position as Parkside, and there would be less wriggle room for WRFL to deny.
The fact that they have fulfilled 2 practice games gives the league an easy out.

What's the issue at Sunny Heights? Is it money? Is it the coach had trouble enticing people to the club? Is it low on club people?
I know the area is always going to be a challenge but hearing they have juniors is a good thing, but the oldest junior is 12-13 years old so they would need to battle for another 4 years before the younger guys come through..

Totally agree with you Votegetters
Heights have had 2 practice matches this year and both were 6 qtr games. Not sure on numbers but there currently is not enough players that have trained to fill two teams. I expect that the coaching staff will be working the phones hard next Thursday night to scratch together a reserves team.
