So who’s nominating for division 1 this season then? Lots of rumours of new teams coming up or coming back but where will they play? Confirmed teams in Division 1 to my knowledge - Kellyville Kolts North Rocks Castle Hill Utd Possibles - Rouse Hill Rangers ( back from GHFA) Castle Hill Rockets ( up from 35/2’s) Hills Spirit ( heard they’ve lost a lot of players) Baulkham Hills (will they finally get put in div 2?) Kellyville Kolts Red ( heard they nominated for 2’s) Glenhaven Red ( div 2 winners) Castle Hill Utd ( div 2 runners up) Outs Kellyville Utd ( team disbanded) Can anyone add anything? Not many teams left from my original list of possibles then? No Baulko, No Spirit, no Rockets, no Glenhaven!! Looks like a small Division 1? Or will HFI revert back to just 2 divisions again??

Theaxe.......now there's a username that rings a bell from the now defunct Granville Forum. Which Association are you playing in this year ? Or have you decided to hang up the boots ? Back in the hills area - had enough of the Granville comp HI Axe,
Who are you playing with this year? Has the Ermington team joined you at a Hills club?

My bet is that theaxe will be playing with North Rocks. I have been told by the North Rocks guys that the Axe will not leave Ermington, as his brother plays there. I believe that his Ermington team have joined a Hills Club, but I don't know which one.

Or will HFI revert back to just 2 divisions again?? 2 teams from o35s at baulko are going into 45s wouldn't they be into div1 ? Its been the case previous years for o35 sides. The younger blokes will outrun mostly 55 year olds every day of the week.

Anyone from 1,2 & 3 should go to 45/1’s in my opinion and I’m sure plenty will disagree! Hearing rumours there is only 20 x 45’s teams so they are having 2 divisions of 10? Get ready for the bickering to start! 😜

The 2 Baulko teams are from O/35 div 5 & last year came 7th & 10th, most are over 50 & into their 60s. Its 4 years since one of them made the semies. one team may get div 2 & other div 3 with the other Baulko div 3 team from last year.

Sports99....time to buy yourself a crystal ball..or just read between the lines from previous comments. Theaxe has said he is not playing in the Granville Association this year....hence he is not playing for Ermington. So he has either left his brother...or...they are playing together in the Hills. Theaxe has a close relationship with North Rocks where he has played before. My money is still on theaxe playing for North Rocks. His previous comments also had him barracking for North Rocks this season. Seems logical to me.

I hear that the AXE will play for Rouse Hill.

Surely divisions are installed to group similar ability sides to play against each other, wouldn’t teams like to play against similar ability levels week in and week out, beating or getting beaten by large score lines every week is not fun.
I note North West Sydney Football competition in 2020 had 5 divisions of 45s, varying numbers of teams in each division (Div 1 – 4 teams, Div 2 -6 teams, Div 3 - 8 teams etc). How many more over 45s would be encourage out of the 35s with the likelihood of being place into the correct division. Reducing divisions would be a big step backwoods, there is a need to keep innovative thinking, to grow this age group.

I don’t think it’s possible to creat 3 O45 divisions of equal quality and maximum competitiveness- especially at O45 because it’s so random of who turns 45 that year and who retires etc
fact is that Kolts are the best team by far - its the other good teams that are the issue because they will try and sneak into div 2 or 3 and try to win it - which will lead to a whole lot of uneven games
only one way to solve it .....one big division where everyone plays each other once and have a NRL style playoff with a top 8 and GF winner goes to CoC
If it’s 20 teams it should be interesting

If its 20 teams theres only 18 round wont even get to play each other once.
oldboy said 4 or 5 small comp divisions in other comps with comparable ability teams works for them
you may get to play each other 3 or even 4 times but most games are tit-for-tat with most games being very close and not all blow outs if matched unevenly

Ah March... Don't we love it!
The group chats are firing, "training" is being organised and teams being finalised.
There's only 3 things guaranteed in life.. Death, Tax & a bunch of over 45s moaning about their division for kick about park footy!
Im stocked up on voltaren, strapping tape, beers and ready for another run about. Bring on April!
