Every winter season we get many players coaches and clubs complaining and questioning us as to why we run a winter season when most associations across the state don't. We battle with that ourselves as it is a lot of work manipulating around merged competitions, other sports and priorities for a short 12 week season. We understand all this and respect those that choose to focus on primarily Winter sports.
Yet with all that said we had a 15% increase in team nominations to the point we couldn't fit teams in.
So I guess if people want to play then we will continue to offer the opportunity. ... See MoreSee Less

The 1st 6 weeks of the Winter fixture has now been published. It has been tweaked numerous times over the last week or so to accommodate clashes and and club requests. Hopefully it shouldn't change to much more moving forward. Random local football will impact on us in the first 4 weeks of the season if your team is affected by this notify your club who can then work with the WBA to hopefully work around this if necessary.
NOTE: If you feel your team has got a bad draw eg every game is 9pm . Let us now via your club and we can look at that. This is something that we can't easily report on so rely on feedback from individual teams. ... See MoreSee Less
