Yeah there seems to be this utopian outlook that every comp should have teams that are within 6 goals of each other on any given day. Its just commonsense to have these Friday night comps regionalised I would have thought. Just pure logistics and getting people to a game by 730pm who have worked all day.I've been suggesting this for a while.
There are so many teams, and the lists are so transient - working out who will be good at any given time is impossible anyway.
Should just be Div 3 North, Central and South - probably 8-10 teams per comp anyway and its easy done.
Yes, there will be thrashings - but what competition doesn'tn have thrashings?
I would only caution that in the last 2 years certainly, the gap between Div 3 and Div 4 was enormous - but I feel this will even out over time.
The gap between top of Div 3 and bottom of Div 3 was probably bigger than gap between Div 3 top teams and Div 4 top teams also.
No doubt Ormeau lost a few players, but they went from Div 4 to Div 3 as Premiers and got a 20 goal round 1 thrashing and never looked back
