At some point, there have to be links between church, social and district competitions. At the moment, those links are only through players and officials that are involved in more than one competition. There are plenty of district teams moonlighting as social teams around town.
Why is there any problem with having more structured links between the competitions? The main difference now is that most competitions outside of district are based at a particular venue so you don't have "away" games.
Actually, the prospect of a social div 3 competition is quite exciting, although the risk is that div 3 could become a higher standard than div 2!
District clubs may choose to formally run social teams as a development squad for the higher divisions. Don't try to shoot ideas down just because they are different to what we are doing now.
One problem we do have now is the gulf between the have & have nots in terms of performance, number of teams and finance. The competition is a lot more interesting if we can keep the existing clubs going.
Alternatively, we could merge all the clubs so everyone plays for Sturtville. Sounds a bit boring heh?
