31.05.2023	FINAL	FINAL

Rules: (most of the normal league rules apply)

• Winners of each group advances to the semi-finals. If teams end up with the same points, the head-to-head will count first, then the goal difference.
• The best second of the three group will advance too, based on: Points and then goal difference.
• Semifinals  home grounds follow league rules: the home team organizes fields and referees. No extra time in case of a tie, straight to penalties.
• Finals to be played probably at Panorama like last year (the only ground where we can have up to 3 games at the same time with a generator, and that includes the relegation/promotion play-off). The teams will split the costs for fields and referees. The one-venue for finals is ideal for the award ceremony for all the teams involved, and also for other teams to come and have a drink if they feel like it.
• There is no space for catch-up games. If the home or away team cannot make it, a 3-0 will be awarded.
• If there is load-shedding scheduled, you will need to arrange a venue swap or a new venue. At the moment the situation is slightly better than it was some months ago but we will know only at the time.
• Would also be great to avoid a 6-pointer, since on such small groups makes a big difference. But if the situation needs it, so be it.
• More rules (if needed to clarify everything) may be added in the  future.

In a catch up game, Global continued their unbeaten run with a 2-2 draw at Highlands.

In division 2 Warriors finished strong with a 13-2 win against Bosmont, while Lenasia collected 6 points thanks to a 1-0 six-pointers win vs GPMI.

In the game between the top 2 sides, Panorama and Randburg drew 2-2

Global United are the official Division 1 champions after winning 6-1 at home against Highlands.

In the other game of the night Florida lost 9-0 at home to Warriors

In Division 2 Bosmont forfeited the game against Panorama, while Sandton Warriors beat Lenasia 3-1, while Drunken Pandas beat GPMI 3-1. Randburg consolidated their second place with a 8-1 win against Old Parks

In Division 1, Global beat Old Parks 6-2 while Highlans Park dropped points at Randfontein with a 2-2 draw. This pushed Global close to a league win a 6 points margin (and one more game played).

Atletico beat Sundowners 3-2 in the other game

Old Parks and Florida get relegated to Division 1 for the Summer League 2023/24

In Division 2 Panorama won the league by beating Lenasia 4-2. Sandton warriors moved to 3rd thanks to a 6-0 win against GPMI while Drunken Pandas and Rush finished the game with a 4-4. In the last game of the day, Old Parks 2 lost to Bosmont Old Boys 5-2.

Panorama get promoted to Division 2 for the Summer League 2023/2024.

SUMMER CUP 2022/2023

A new format has been approved for the Summer League.

The two divisions (Division 1 and Division 2) will play two separate cups. No more intra-division cups like last year.

Both will have the same format: 9 Teams per league (Olympia will join Division 1), 3 groups of 3.
Home and Away games.
Top 3 of each group (based on points, head-to-head and goal difference) will go straight to semi-final plus the best second (based on points and then goal difference).

The draw will take place as soon as Summer League is over (last round is the 22^nd, so unless there are some extra games to be played, still possible, it will be around that week).

There will be no seeding, with a live draw on zoom like last year (you are all welcome to attend).

Temporary dates (we will confirm before the draw):

Promotions / Relegations for Summer League

Summer League and Winter League will run separately from now on (or unless a new format gets into play next year based on the number of teams).

The current promotions, relegations and play-off for promotions will be counted towards Summer League 2023/24.

So for example, at the current stage:
– Panorama and Randburg will go to Division 1 from September 2023
– Old Parks and Florida will go to Division 2.
– Sundowners FC and Lenasia will play the promotion play-off the same day of the finals, in one venue (if any of those 2 teams are in the final the game will be played a week after).

Winter League 2023

Winter League this year will be shorter and with 3 divisions, to avoid the issues that have been plaguing teams in the past (lack of players / commitment due to cold and injuries, worse load shedding scenarios since it’s winter). Unlike Summer League, there will be no promotions and relegations.

The Divisions will be based on the final positions during Summer League.

Top 6 teams Division 1 will be playing Winter League A

Bottom 2 teams Division 1 + Olympia + top 3 teams Division 2 will be playing Winter League B

Bottom 6 teams Division will be playing Winter League C.

There will be 6 teams per league, so only 10 rounds.

If we start second week of June, we have the following (temporary) rounds:

Date	Round
14.06.2023	1st
21.06.2023	Youth Day Break
28.06.2023	2nd
05.07.2023	3rd
12.07.2023	4th
19.07.2023	Winter  Break (catch up option)
26.07.2023	Winter Break (catch up option)
02.08.2023	5th
09.08.2023	National Women Day
16.08.2023	6th
23.08.2023	7th
30.08.2023	8th
06.09.2023	9th
13.09.2023	10th

There is a chance some other team may join us for Winter League in that case we will try to accommodate them.

Last year we started Summer League the 19.10. Winter league may have, unlike Summer League, a quick 3 weeks FA Cup style but that is depending on the additions of teams (if a team gets added to a 6 teams group, the rounds go up from 10 to 14, making cups impossible)

General Meeting

Before Winter League starts it would be great to meet all the teams once again to have a catch up, to discuss further changes and amendements in order to keep the league running and making an enjoyable experience for all the team.

In Division 1, Globsal dropped points for the first time a 2-2 draw against Warriors in a catch up game.

Same thing happened in Division 2, with Panorama dropping 2 points for the first time after drawing with Sandton Warriors 1-1. Randburg won 4-2 against Drunken Pandas to get closer to Panorama.

In the other games, Lenasia beat Old Parks 5-1 and GPMI won against Crusaders 4-3

As of today, 1st of March, Crusaders have requested a name change to Rush FC.

The change has been approved by the league.

In Division 1 Global continued thier march with a 7-3 win against Randfontein. Sundowners won 1-0 away at Old Parks to move on 6th, while Atletico beat Florida 3-1.

In the other game at the top, Highlands beat Warriors 4-3

In Division 2 Panorama beat GPMI 4-1, opening a gap due to Randburg drawing 3-3 with Crusaders. In the other game Sandton Warriors beat Old Parks 3-0, passing Lenasia and moving to 3rd position
