PREFERENTE AUTONOMICA - 2016/17

When does the new season start and if you hear of any friendly matches taking place could you let me know.

I am back over from 17th to 27th July cheers

With the final two playoffs now complete, and assuming the Fed promote the two highest placed teams in Preferente and Primera (to cover the extra two teams into the Tercera), the Preferente line up for next season will now be:

2015/16 Mid-table Preferente teams

6 ... S.F.C. MINERVA
7 ... MAZARRON F.C.
8 ... U.D. LOS GARRES
9 ... MONTECASILLAS F.C.
10 ... CARTAGENA F.C.-UCAM
11 ... JUMILLA C.D.
12 ... BENIAJAN C.F.
13 ... C.F. MOLINA
14 ... A.D. ALQUERIAS
15 ... C.D. BALA AZUL

Teams promoted from the Primera:

1 ... U.D. ABANILLA
2 ... F.C. CARTAGENA 'B'
3 ... ALCANTARILLA F.C.
4 ... C.D. ESPARRAGAL
5 ... BALSICAS A.T.L

Teams relegated from the Tercera:

16 ... PLUS ULTRA-MARVIMUNDO
17 ... E.F. ALHAMA
18 ... A.D. CARAVACA

...and there's more....

They say it's never all over 'til it's over!

Remember the Chinese buying into La Hoya Lorca? Seems they've now 'bought' Lorca Deportiva and merged the two clubs. (Don't ask me why!)

To refresh your memory, Lorca Deportiva finished top of the Tercera but failed to get promotion up to 2B. La Hoya Lorca finished 6th in 2B.

So, if the deal goes through, there will be one less team in the Tercera and presumably, SFC Minerva will get the leg-up from the Preferente.

Which would mean any further defaults or changes in the Tercera would see Mazarrón next in line for the ascenso!

Keeeeep watching!

(I must add, though, that the Fed have still not confirmed how the extra 2 Tercera places will actually be filled!  And clubs registration is due by MONDAY 4th July!)

Our Presidente's resignation latter to the Council has been published on the internet:



My Google translation says:

TO: SNR. CONCEJAL DE DEPORTES DEL AYUNTAMIENTO DE MAZARRÓN

D. José Miguel Rodriguez Giménez as President of Mazarrón FC, with no. 1431 federativa and address Avda. Juan Carlos I s / n Mazarrón.

Hereby informs, Head of Municipal Sports, which after the meeting held by the Board of Mazarrón FC on May 31, 2016 in local social club took the following agreement:

Resign all the members of the Board of Directors with immediate effect, although they will remain in functions until the day June 30, 2016, the date on which concludes the sports season.

The agreement, taken due to the inability of these managers to undertake further projects carried out to achieve a degree of more evolution of the Entity.

I inform you of this fact in order that since the Mazarrón FC has taken part in over ninety years of Intangible Heritage of the town, may take the necessary measures to not to lose or devalue the asset.

We hereby also inform you that we will arrange care of the Municipal Stadium to date (30/06/2016) and from there should seek an alternative to the care and maintenance.

Activities will be continued to end of this year but will not take decisions affecting next season.

So, to avoid prejudicing athletically to the club, would have to fill this power vacuum as soon possible since there are few dates to take certain commitments:

to renew the agreement of juniors with Mazarrón FB before 30 June;

2016 register teams in their respective competitions before July 15, 2016;

search for coaches, players, set budget ...

Without further ado and hoping that this change is most beneficial for Mazarrón FC.

In Mazarrón, June 1, 2016

As usual, chaos is reigning around registration time!

Seems like EF Alhama (relegated from the Tercera) have decided not to play in the Preferente and will drop down to the Primera!

The team next-in-line to come up from the Primera to the Preferente is DITTRedmovil who play at the Estadio José Barnes in Murcia.

If and when we do get to play this season, the broccoli shirts of la Hoya Lorca will give way to the fiesta shirts of AD Caravaca:

Ah, we were right again!  Racing Murcia City is this season's name for the DITT-Redmovil team.
