I love Valentine. A lot. Adam Hughes and the gang with the new facility. Woo hoo. Go Valo!
So does relegation come into play next season? Or is it still a year off?
I thought it starts this coming season
Starts this season https://www.northernnswfootball.com....r-competitions
At the end of the 2024 season, the team that comes 12th in NPL Men’s NNSW will be relegated to HIT106.9 Northern League One, while the team that finishes first in HIT106.9 Northern League One will be promoted to NPL Men’s NNSW.
The team that finishes 11th in NPL Men’s NNSW will join the teams that finish second, third and fourth in HIT106.9 Northern League One in a promotion/relegation play-off series to determine the 12th team in NPL Men’s NNSW in 2025.
What about clubs with No Youth, are they excluded from the playoffs and auto promotion?
Or are they given the benefit of the doubt to try and organise the Youth Teams over the summer
While a number of the key criteria have been relaxed to make promotion to NPL much more achievable such as the venue requirements, the consultation process with NPL Men’s and Northern League One clubs supported the Football Australia direction that clubs must have youth teams to compete in NPL. Specifically in our region, they are to be competing in the Premier Youth League.
Should a team without Premier Youth League teams finish as premiers of Northern League One, they will not be promoted to NPL Men’s. In this instance, the team finishing in 11th place (qualifying for the play-offs) will remain in NPL Men’s and the team finishing 12th will take their spot in the relegation playoffs rather than be automatically relegated.
Should a team without Premier Youth League teams finish in one of the play-off spots, they will not contend the play-offs and the remaining play-off teams will move up their position within the play-off. For example if the team finishing third does not have the required teams, the team finishing fourth will take the position of the third place team and face second place in the semi-final. The team finishing 11th in NPL will move straight to the play-off final. For the avoidance of doubt, no extra teams will be added to the play-off series if one of the qualified teams does not meet the required teams.

Trial results
Edgeworth beat Magic 4-3
Valentine beat N/Lambton 4-1
Olympic beat Adamstown 5-0
Interesting season ahead for Rosebuds.Seniors will be one of the favourites to get relegated and their youth looking like they will end the season in Div 3.Hard to recruit players if thats the direction you are heading.Before you ask no,I'm not basing it off one trial result.
What's the mail on their youth? Why Div3?
Starting to see some player movement on socials.. more to come I’m predicting
