Wallsend
West Wallsend
Cooks Hill
Belswans

With promotion and relegation between Npl 1 and 2
It will be damn hard to keep Cooks Hill out of NPL1. They have a history of performance, the juniors, the money and the ground.

Based on performance, grounds, juniors and any combination of the three, this would be my comps come the revolution:

NPL 1
1 Edgeworth
2 Broadmeadow
3 Hamilton
4 Lambton
5 Maitland
6 Weston
7 Azzurri
8 Cooks Hill

NPL 2
1 Lakes
2 Valentine
3 Kahibah
4 Wallsend
5 West Wallsend
6 Belswans
7 South Cardiff
8 Adamstown

Relegating 3 from the current NPL will cause much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but to give Cooks Hill a deserved shot then 3 go down unless they are happy with uneven numbers in the two comps or want a bye. Could they go 9 an 7? Possible.

Oh, and 3 rounds please.

A shame about Thornton. Such a growth area.

Youth: all in together. Yep, there will be smashings but they will lessen over time thanks to SAP or equivalent programmes. Allow Mid North Coast and North Coast to be part of the youth comp
