NL1 Report Card
New Lambton A
Prob Club Championship. Promotion deserved.
Belswans B+
3 Seniors teams in GF and finals in all Youth. The dominant Club if they elect to stay.
Kahibah B
Senior success in 1st and Res, Youth always competitive.
Toronto F
Didn't field all teams. Building a competitive 1st grade is not a ticket to sustainability. Hopefully this famous Club steps up.
Singleton F
Didn't field all teams.
ZPL a realistic better home based on their lack of intent to build Youth teams. Usually using the excuse of location which is probably fair.
Westy
C-. Always promise much but poor overall. 18s an exception so maybe a base to build on? Huge demographic. They should be a powerhouse in a few years.
Thornton C-
Promised much more. Injuries didn't help. Youth teams have a go at least. Coach leaving to go to NPL Res?
South Cardiff D
They always promote Youth and now they have a young Coach who will continue. With some smart recruitment they might just challenge Belswans in 2023.
Cessnock D-
Unsure where they go from here
Wallsend F
Didn't field all teams.
Famous club, some positive results in 1st grade at the end, and Ressies made finals. Maybe get any NL players who miss the NPL boat, move back to Wallsend Park and start again.
