Reserves 1-2 : Raptors took the lead and then conceded a goal from a corner and another one ten minutes from the end, well done to Grove not sure they had any subs in this game ?
A's 0-2 : Two late goals sealed the win for Grove.
The League should be informing the clubs in our division as to the process for relegation if one team gets booted out, as AYS have been this year.
I am aware the standard rule is that 2 teams must be relegated, but the main question here is whether the League considers a team getting booted out as being 'relegated' or not?
For Raptors, they should be trying to get as many points as possible and not finish in the bottom 2 (as the ladder currently is with only 9 teams) to ensure the issue at hand doesn't affect them.
Personally, I hope they stay up in Div 3 as we always have great battles with them and always enjoy a beer with them after the game! I wish them well for the rest of the season!
If 2 teams MUST be relegated what happens if 8 teams fold during a season (unlikely I agree but just being devils advocate ) Does that mean the top 2 get promoted and relegated ?????

AYS will just return as AOS adelaide old stars, therefore two down two up

THE RAPTORS JOIN FORCES WITH FORMER NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
In an exciting development, the ISC Raptors join the West Adelaide Hellas Soccer Club forming the only club in South Australia with Premier League Men's and Women's teams, Junior boys and girls and SAASL teams.
Effective from the 2015 season, the ISC Raptors will be known as the West Adelaide Raptors.
The club will relocate to West Adelaide's West Terrace facilities, at the corner of West Terrace and Sir Donald Bradman Drive. The Raptors will sport the blue and white stripes of Hellas for home games, and preserve its traditional yellow and blue for away fixtures.
The decision marks a new and exciting era for the club. It will provide the club with greater exposure, a larger supporter base and improved facilities.
The 2015 season will reflect the club's 21st year in the South Australian Ametuer Soccer League. Founded by members of the South Australian Imbrian Community and originally known as the Adelaide Imbros Soccer Club, the Imbrian Greek heritage will still remain a feature of the club.
Under its current regime, West Adelaide Hellas has in a relatively short timeframe, become one of South Australia's strongest clubs. Hellas finished third in its return last season to the State's Premier League (NPL), finishing second in the minor round, before being eliminated on penalties in the preliminary final. The club had the highest average home ground attendance during the 2014 season, and has also secured funding to build an impressive stadium and function centre at Kilburn. The Raptor's affiliation with West Adelaide Hellas is an honour and prosperous for the club's success and longevity.
The West Adelaide Raptors looks forward to your support as it commences its planning for a successful 2015. It won't be long before the blue and white of West Adelaide dominate the State's Premier and Amateur divisions.
Might see Paul Pezos and Matthew Kemp in SAASL Division 3 next year....
Won't quite feel the same if we play Raptors again....some of the 'small club' rivalry will be lost...but good luck to all...hope it works out for colon cleanser and crew.
