    Have Warners Bay U16 side had any trail matches yet? I've been told a few things but I don't believe it entirely.
    What have you heard ?

    That they refuse to play against any other teams in the comp, would be understandable but the rest of the club have done it.

    They have had a few girls away with other commitments when some of the trials were organised. The u16 coach's preference is to play against boy's teams in preparation for the regular season. They have been playing against younger A/B grade boys teams for wins and draws, no loses.

    Think there would pretty much well be too many clubs close together if new lambton came in next year, will be an issue perhaps trying to get numbers for all 4 grades in an area so close to other WPL clubs
    Maybe they should look into expanding into an area outside inner newcastle area instead

    Other than MidNorthCoast and Hunter Valley, location doesn't matter in the Newcastle Lake Mac area. Players will be more swayed by other factors eg coaching staff, club set up, friends. It will also be the clubs with people & management capable & willing to run WPL that will be admitted... that's why there's no Valo this year, that's why Lambton is potential for next year.

    I think they shouldn't be looking for an expansion at all at this stage. There are at least three teams struggling for numbers in the junior grades, imagine what an eighth team no matter where it is from would do to the number of players and quality of play.

    I agree with most of what your saying but all the evidence is that inner Newcastle and the WPL comp is at capacity. New Lambton would probably do a good job but if they are admitted it will be to the determinant of other Newcastle WPL clubs.There is already a shortage of u14 and u16 players in WPL, if you add another club in the mix you will have a shortage of players in all four age groups and the playing standard will drop accordingly. The comp needs to stabilise and strengthen before considering expansion.

    Yes, as evidenced last year, 8 teams too much of a stretch... too many young kids playing up for too many games. Whilst good to get experience playing up, to do it consistently and play 2 (or even 3) games each weekend is too much & susceptible to fatigue & injury.

    We wanted to be apart of the Womens ZPL, but couldn't field the teams. So for now we will focus on growing the Junior side of the female game and step up when we consolidate our numbers.
