Victorian Teams Division 3

Division 3 of the Victorian Teams Championship was a bit of an experiment, and a format that I really liked. There are 4 teams who all play each other twice during the season. Then, after the 6 regular season games, the teams were to come together at the final round to play divisional play off's. This would be a great format for all divisions in my opinion with one team promoted, and one team relegated from each division. And another strong case for 4 team divisions is that the teams are likely to be quite competitive with each other, with no outstanding favourites, and no stragglers.

As it is, the third division suffered a little from lack of management, especially from the Girls Team. This team had no clear venue, and a lack of cohesion, partly caused by myself as I took on the role of manager of the team until someone else could be found. Well, no one else was found and I struggled to effectively coordinate the team. However, the players themselves have enjoyed the games they've played and have generally been positive about the experience as they all feel that they've improved from the games they've played.

4	Girls	5	0	0

Results:

There is one game outstanding, but it has no effect on the final standings. Canterbury Junior's have won the division and are promoted to the 2nd division for 2012.
