You'd imagine so. Gotta commend them on their recruitment. Safe to say their choice of coach has been on point the last two times.

He will kick a goal or two.

Serious question, has Westminster designed a real life money tree? (I'm not a person who whines about paying players, just a recruiting spree like this has never really been the Dragons style)

No Money Tree. A new coaching panel has brought new connections that we have been able to tap in to. In addition we have been able to convince some past players and old scholars playing elsewhere to get on board - exciting times ahead.

We replaced our coach at the start of 2008 and we won a GF in 2008 and made the GF in 2009 . He was then replaced in 2013 and we went back to back in 2013 and 2014. Luke has got big shoes to fill but here's hoping the tradition continues.

That's the same bloke that led SHOC's goal kicking in div 1 for four years yeah?

Someone must've won the lotto at WOSFC! All those fellas wouldn't come cheap.

I don't think it's too presumptuous to announce them as firm favorites for this year.

With results like that you should just replace the coach every year.

North Haven have added Cocchiaro, Pederson and Howden. Haughey, Butler and Winter back to EP. Visser back to CLG, along with Knight (who is a genuine gun). Add in Tasborski, Donaldson, Wakelin, Shattock, Noonan etc at WOS. Some real good players coming into Div 4 this year.

Those four along with Townies to be the top 5.

Geez! Would almost be easier to be in Div 3

thats just how the numbers dropped..as i said last time you questioned it..what is your top 10? its a difficult exercise..

Happy to be wrong but have been told Alex Haughey isn't playing this year and is just part of the coaching staff

PH released coach as he was seen as reason players were leaving and once gone players will return. He's now gone and still the clearances are being lodged, word is remaining players will have to play 2 games to ensure no forfeit, think this is just unviable and common sense should prevail and they should go down a div to re-group if they can or may have to go to 1 team to totally rebuild.
if they stay in 4 they are going to be on the record end of some mighty beatings, good % booster for those that get to play them, bad for those that get a forfeit.

I think most clubs would just want it sorted one way or another before the season starts. It's been shuffled around so much already and it's made booking social events difficult. Also I know the clubs wouldn't want a repeat of a few years ago when Salisbury North were made to play their C and D in div 6, got pumped for two weeks and then were allowed to go down.

It was tea tree gully bfg!

Didn't mean to "like" that I was attempting to quote.

Out of curiosity do you think 25-30 players are going to come out of the woodwork if you tell them they are going to get beaten by 5-6 goals less per week by going down a division? I personally think it would do stuff all and in the process potentially stuff around 19 other clubs fundraising and social calendars... That's if they are in this position you speak of... For me it's either to the C grade divisions you go because you only have 1 side or cope with div 4.

Take PH out of D4. Promote the teams that got relegated from ninth place last year. Put PH as the tenth team in D7, as one team club for the year, bye in D7R.

Didn't they have a Cgrade last year?
A dozen players have put in for a clearance, so knowing they had a cgrade last year they could still fill 2 sides couldn't they?
