Probably behind the game here, do we have confirmation what clubs are in zl3 this year
Confirmed teams for this grade? Heard a rumour Valentine entering?
Part of the new change to Promotion / relegation rules out Valentine entering a team.
From now on clubs will be allowed to enter only one side to Football league NPL down to ZL3. Clubs can enter a team into new Zone Football Conference league which essentially replaces third grade for Zl1 and Zl2. Valentine have a NPL side so that is there 1 side, Olympic and Cooks Hill have 2 squads but they are existing squads so they can both enter.
The new changes have been highly debated, controversial to some. They are in now, let's see how it works.
All under the same banner. Seems existing clubs with both are grandfathered in.
So no confirmed 12th team as yet?
Unless something happens in the next week or is happening behind the scences I can't see a 12th team. Only realistic way of a 12th team is that the Valentine group go to another club and start there.
There options are limited
Belmont is the obvious one
Argenton is probably the next option. South Cardiff could be an option as their club is still split I believe, South Cardiff fc and South Cardiff Community fc. South Wallsend. Jesmond
Or something happens at the Valentine club to make it happen.
As for clubs coming up with a squad with little notice. South Wallsend had 2 higher all age teams last year, that's probably an obvious one.
Maryland Fletcher could work.
Options are also limited by any of these clubs wanting a Zone League side as well.
Any teams still after players? Had 12 months off and want to play again. Over the years I have played ZL1 and Zl2 in either 3rds or ressies.. just want to kick a ball around..
Hey also in the same situation, looking for a club have played just looking to play ressies with some coaching commitments as well
Mayfield united juniors zl2 are in search of some new players.

How do we think this comp is shaping up? Similar to last year?
Heard Rutherford are formed from Weston/maitland NPL juniors who weren?t going any further, could be a surprise package
Imagine Kurri, suburbs probably battle for top spot
Medowie also signed a few from Stockton and might be alright. Whether they can be consistent or not, that's a different story.
