Being announced today apparently
Dudley boys and Kahibah girls will have PYL status 2026
Great news and well done to both clubs for making the effort.
That is great news for both clubs, along with the competition itself. Well done everyone involved!
Intriguing there was 5 clubs apply for PYL and 4 for JDL.
Does anyone know which clubs applied
25 clubs. I wonder who gets the bye
So we have a few clubs in div 3 severly struggling to find players to compete at level. Where does Dudley go find their players?
They are one of the biggest junior clubs in town. I have heard they have over 800 registered juniors last year. So I?m guessing a bulk from there
Or any other say zone club who gets promoted over the next few years
Looking at the map, Charlestown has a decent junior base as does Belmont. Kahibah isnt far away though.
I think most people would agree there are enough talented girls in the region to expand the current number of teams.
So I struggle to understand the logic of Macquarie Football not supporting Valentine's PYLG submission yet supporting Kahibah's?
As stated above, Kahibah is already on the doorstep of other clubs, yet Macquarie Football's objection was that Valentine would be cannibalizing other clubs?
In all fairness though, I think a smarter direction would have been to expand the existing club licenses to include at least U14's girls as a first step, potentially 16's (or delay a year or 2) and pushing U17's out to U18's. Clubs having to release 1/2 their 13's each year as they progress to 15's is just a sure fire way of losing players from the game altogether.

They only need Youth if they are going to be promoted to NPL
My understanding is that Valentine didn't ask for endorsement from Macquarie, they just sent an email informing Macquarie that they would be applying. Macquarie aren't going to chase up or respond as there was no request made, just sit on that email.
lol. delusional. less talent around than the boys.
Belswans youth on the verge of going up to Div 1 to start next year.To be fair they should have done it last year.After a very rough start they have done really well.
How many girls games do you go and watch? there are a few, but you have to know which divisions to watch and a lot of the real young ones play up quite a few ages or in AAW, If there wasn't a gap between YL girls and community you'd know where they are, theres no structure for the girls as there is with multiple divisions of youth league so you can't really say you know what the talent pool is or isn't.
This level of pettiness is exactly why Football administration in Australia is a joke.

Ive seen every level & for me & its struggle st. Some of the Jets girls are good but the gulf falls off very quickly. Ive seen mid to high NPL gilrs yth games where it looks like they're playing with their opposite foot. Its just an honest view and now ill wait for the usual offended Lefties on here to crucify this honest opinion.
But.. If we arent comparing quality of athletes.... I'm Happy there are opportunities for everyone to get out there, have a go and hit their best at any activity.
Hope these games get played this weekend. Already lost a round of football.
Interestlying most clubs are football only pitches so games should be played where possible if the grounds are a little damp.
Any idea whats happening with the positional play off games (5v6 7v8)?
Also where the semi finals will be played?
Seems to be a delay in confirming given that the clubs would need to prepare/ keep teams training if they didnt make semis
Theres still a boatload of fixtures to be made up. The silence is deafening from NNSWF
