So, Lower North will be without Ryan Darling for a while after he sustained a shoulder injury in the NEFL grand final.

That said, a handy new addition looks to have arrived this year. Will be interesting to see how he goes in further net sessions but he looks promising.

Lower North, Long Plains, Clare Combined will be around the mark again you'd think. Can Auburn/Mintaro continue its resurgence or will Watervale step back into contention? Brinkworth/Koolunga are always a threat, especially at home, while Sevenhill will be keen to add some new faces to its team if it is to challenge for finals this year.

Anyone know when games start up?

I wouldn't expect auburn to win many games this year, heard over the weekend that prince, both Normans and hindmarsh are gone. Leaves a fair hole.

Both Normans? Ack!

Any news on team nominations for the upcoming season? All clubs remaining the same? Have heard their may be an organised U12 comp rather than scratch matches at Balak and Clare each week with 4 clubs involved.

Hearing quite a few clubs are really struggling for numbers in this comp with the possibility of an A1 team and possibly a couple of
A2 teams having to pull out if things don't drastically change numbers wise. Sad if true. Summer sports are struggling everywhere I know.

Auburn/Mintaro fielded 9 on the weekend I reckon in the A1s.
It's a tough time of year with weddings/footy trips/harvest all approaching.
Long Plains had six players for the coming weekend, looking likely to forfeit.
It'll pick up again as the year continues on but certainly clubs are struggling to field full teams ATM.

I guess that's the trouble when summer sports start so close to footy season. I think Longies will be ok after this week for numbers.

I was told by a reliable source that discussions were in place with the association pres about pulling out a couple of sides, one club being their A grade side.

Lower North Buffaloes, 4 flags in a row!

[Hazbeen]

Wow! Missed a entire season

Lower North made it 5 A Grade flags in a row in 2015/16

Going for 6 this upcoming season

8 teams in A grade and hopefully 6 in B grade if Blyth can fill both A & B grades.

Lower North have lost Sam Agnew but picked up Tom Chapman who is a local teacher with District cricket experience and will have a couple of last year's premiership winning U16's pressing for selection

[Hazbeen]

At the end of the 1st round the top 4 are easily seperated from the rest

Top 4 - Clare, Sevenhill, Brinkworth and Lower North
