After playing a majority of my football in Div 7 at Modbury last year then finishing in Div 3 reserves i can safely say that i found it alot tougher playing in Div 7 at times. . Especially when injuries hit mid year and you C grade are losing 3-6 players a week and having up to 10 changes due to the movement in higher grades, will be excellent to play against clubs in similar positions all year..
We played GG on the weekend and admittedly they fielded a mainly D grade side with ours being a mixture of blokes who will play C, D's and E's but was a good hit out and its always a pleasure playing close to home.. Some old rivalries renewed with TTG, Hope Valley and Golden Grove all in the same Div. Dont think thats happened for some time.
Maybe we should play for a Div 8/8R North East Cup amongst ourselves for a bit of fun?
Just have a normal ladder with points and percentage, but only from the games we play against each other and combine both grades. Maybe pick a charity or cause to raise money for at our games as well. Something that will benefit the local North Eastern Community. The 3 clubs that don't win can all chip in for the winners plaque... @Hefty @Haynzy @Sass!
