Attached – draft 2010 senior draw.

Glenn and I would have liked to distribute this earlier, however, the Illawarra Premier League Soccer draw was only distributed on Tuesday – you will recall that Avondale Rugby and Dandaloo Soccer share their ground with Dandaloo Soccer having priority in the draw. After waiting for their draw, we found that the Soccer draw (although being a 12 team draw as is the RU draw), the Soccer don’t play on the same dates as we do and thus synchronisation of the draws isn’t possible. However verbally the Soccer have advised that Dandaloo wish to play Sunday home dates so all may end up OK with a couple of date clashes at Gerry Capetta Oval (awaiting formal confirmation of their Sunday dates).

A reminder of the procedures adopted to form the draft draw.

Special dates?

• · Kiama to play HOME on 19 June vs Vikings – 50th season celebration day – so rds 1 & 12 Kiama to play Vikings – rd 1 at Vikings and rd 12 at Kiama.
• · Shoalhaven to play away on 27 March
• · Bundanoon Oval not available until 24 April
• · Bowral at home on 12 June

Steps:

• · Re-arrange rd 1 to allow Vikings vs Kiama, Shoalhaven away in rd 1, Bowral home in rd 11 - done
• · Swap some rounds positions so that clubs don’t always follow each other in the draw i.e. could always follow a very strong team or conversely an weaker team/bye - done
• · Allocate home and away – plan is not to have more than two home (or two away) matches in a row – done - clubs have 6/5 split for first rd i.e. either 6 or 5 games at home in first round with reverse in 2nd round

 

Cheers,
John
