I will be curious to see if they don't get all youth teams next year will Northern follow their own rules and drop Charlestown down to NL1.
Let's hope NNSWF has some courage. I have my doubts.

Not being picky here but we also need to remember that NPL and NL1 no longer exist in Youth Football. It is PYL with Div 1 and 2 in the first half of the season and Groups A,B and C in the second half. One comp.

There should no longer be any favours given to any club as all play in the one comp, all have the same fees to NNSWF, the same ref fees etc. The only non result driven difference is what clubs can offer (programmes, kits etc) and how much they charge (currently ranging from $950 to $2,200).

On the field, may the best team win.

I just want the same rules and conditions applied to all.
