### 2016 National Premier Leagues WA

[edit]

The 2016 National Premier Leagues WA season was played over 22 rounds commencing 19 March 2016, followed by the return of a Top 4 Finals series. Despite the flagged return of a promotion/relegation system for the bottom team,[1] it was determined after the season ended that no State League Division One club met all the criteria for promotion, and that the teams in the 2017 season would remain unchanged.[2] This decision was changed 3 weeks later, with Football West stating that both Joondalup United and Mandurah City would be promoted, and their overall promotion criteria would be reviewed.[3]

## 2016 Cool Ridge Cup

[edit]

Main article: 2016 WA State Challenge Cup

Western Australian soccer clubs competed in 2016 for the Football West State Cup, known that year as the Cool Ridge Cup for sponsorship reasons. Clubs entered from the National Premier Leagues WA, the two divisions of the State League, a limited number of teams from various divisions of the 2016 Sunday League competition, and from regional teams invited from the South West, Goldfields, Great Southern and Midwest regions.[4]

This knockout competition was won by Floreat Athena, their 6th title.[5]

The competition also served as the Western Australian Preliminary rounds for the 2016 FFA Cup. In addition to the A-League club Perth Glory, the two finalists – Cockburn City and Floreat Athena – qualified for the final rounds of the 2016 FFA Cup, entering at the Round of 32.
