2023 Zone Premier League

[ForeverRed]

I thought NNSWF was running all comps next season.

Must be waiting to see what new clubs apply and then make up the divisions. Rumor that Terrace and Charlestown are wanting to come back. Also with Azzurri ZL1 moving to belmont/mt Hutton and playing under a new name all 3 would have To start at the bottom zone.

Might be looking at 3 comps of 12 teams.

My mail is Cooks Hill zl2 have moved to Charlestown, happy to be corrected if not true. So that isn't an extra team.

Lake macquarie city coming in, They are a new team

Can anyone confirm the Zone Leagues structure and league format for 2024 before I close this thread and start the 2024 ones?

The numbers per league are, but not the names of the leagues. Promotion and Relegation and new names of the leagues start in 2024

I would be highly surprised if 5 new clubs joined zone football next season. I have heard of one club joining next season, but intending to join and competing is a different thing.

Hard to see Terrace rejoining. They have a very good committee, but it didn't finish well for them in 2022 with a lack of numbers. I can definitely see them back in zone football at some stage, but 2024 maybe a little early. For the competitions sake, I hope I am wrong.

I hear Terrace have appointed the bloke that used to coach Stocko.
Big catchment up there and a strong football history.
They?ll have a few RAAF personnel to bolster their ranks.
There?ll be some substance to them

Would that be Les True?

Would that be Les True?

Yeah I think so

[Killa]

Would have been a good appointment about 5 years ago. The Les shine has been and gone for years.

Anyone with any more info from last nights Zone meeting ?

I?m hearing northern want third grade gone for 2025?

Also hearing 2 ZPL clubs from this season have not re-nominated for 2024?

[Lofty]

They did announce third grade would be removed from season 2025 to align with Northern. The clubs in attendance weren't happy with the news. They did take a vote on the night in which everyone was in favour of keeping third grade, apart from one club I think.
That information is going to go back to to board.

Nominations close tomorrow. We won't know anything for a couple of weeks I would imagine. The aim is to have 3 grades of 12 teams. I wasn't aware of any ZPL clubs not nominating. Either rumours or I just wasn't listening. (Don't rule out the not listening part).

Which 2 clubs are you hearing

[straightred88]

Which 2 clubs are you hearing

Heard it was 2 clubs only then was told Minmi is one. Not sure on other

[Taffy]

Seems when Northern said this

"Should Zone League requirements continue to have three required teams, the Joint Interdistrict Zones will work with any promoted club to find an appropriate position within the all age competitions for any displaced third team."

They probably mean for all teams then to go into All Age A. Curiously there isn't a question about a relegated team and if they need three required teams.

Considering they have gone out with a new coach and saying they are in ZPL it?s hard to imagine them not nominating

[Jim]

Disappointing. There was a push to get more divisions of Zone league to strengthen the level of football and reduce the 1000 all age teams.
Now northern has thrown that out.

Never should a club been thrown out of the zone league when their objective is to better football in that area.
I'd rather see 3rd grade dismantled and still have 4 zone divisions of 1st and ressies.

I also heard that Minmi were looking at moving into NL1 to even the competition numbers up.
Love the old rumor mill going round without much fact or evidence behind them.
Whilst we're at it i have heard whispers of the jets being replaced by KB United in season 24/25
