Not good enough for Div 1
...?
Echunga getting relegated to Div 2 because their B-Grade were not very strong
Hang on, I have just had a look at the HFL by-laws. I cannot see anything in the rules differentiating Minor Round and Finals matches:
18.2.3 Promotion and Relegation Points System:
The following points rating system shall be applied to all Central Division Clubs so as to confirm the Central Division Club to be relegated as per the HFL Promotion and Relegation as referred in Rule 18.2.2.
A Grade win: 10 points
B Grade win: 5 points
Senior Colts win: 5 points
Junior Colts win: 3 points
Drawn game: ½ points to each team (Points to be shared equally)
Forfeited game: Full points awarded to the team receiving the forfeit.
Abandoned game: Referred to the HFL Board of Directors.
Taking into account the two weeks of finals now having been played, the points now look like this:
Blackwood 303
Mount Barker 285
Uraidla Districts 263
Lobethal 212
Ironbank 211
Onkaparinga Valley 209
Hahndorf 207
Echunga 162
Torrens Valley 156
Bridgewater 154
It looks like Bridgewater may go down instead according to the rules, could easily be challenged otherwise. Echunga's win yesterday may have been worth a lot more than just a Prelim Final berth.
