The new tradition of the CSL Season starting with the Cup Round 1 has provided some interesting fixtures to start the year.
The Cup Holders and Runners Up , Unley (3) and Windsor Gardens (2A) respectively see byes through to Cup Rd 2 along with the Division 1A Champions Sacred Heart (1A) and League Runners Up Mercedes (1A).
That then leaves 56 teams across 6 Divisions to battle it out on High School, College and University pitches all over Adelaide this Saturday. The biggest tie to start the year is Rostrevor (1A) at home to Pembroke (1A) in an early Division 1A showdown. At the same ground Unley (1B) the title holders for their division take on Rostrevor (1B) in another interesting tie.
Division 2A sides Scotch and Norwood will also battle it out in a tough match up. In the remaining fixtures there are many rivalries continued after promotion and relegation may have conspired to end them for a year at least. The CSL hopes that over the coming seasons new rivalries as well as derby games will develop and can be added to by this great tournament. If any clubs need any excuse to challenge for the CSL Cup just look at the previous winners in Rostrevor (1B) in 2003, Windsor Gardens (3) in 2010 and of course Unley (3) having won last season.
With the new season upon us and the CSL Executive Committee would like to wish all teams good luck in the CSL Cup this season. In the coming weeks the CSL website will be showing results, tables, fixtures, club features, suspensions, documents and eventually updated archives of the CSL also.
