    One official told me last night that with all the conjecture, New Lambton also see very little benefit in supporting an NPL that does not suitably cater for WPL representation as part of NPL licences.
    Well good luck with that, half the WPL teams aren't part of NPL/NL1 clubs, two of them are powerhouses and one is a former powerhouse. Those clubs aren't just going to want to have to give up their WPL teams after all the effort they have put into them over the years tp go to some NPL team simply for some bs about gender equality or some fanciful notion that an NPL club must also have a WPL club. You get top female teams not part of top teams elsewhere in the country.

    That's before we get into how there isn't the depth for every club in the NPL currently let alone 16 clubs with NPL licenses to have a competitive and decent WPL squad.

    With New Lambton being one of the only clubs who feature a WPL program
    One of the only sounds weird, half the competition are part of clubs in NL1.
