It's mate v mate: Part two

As expected, the two Coledale teams were drawn together in Masters 2 for 2010. Russell Vale and Old Boys were both promoted, giving them two sides ineach in Masters 1.
Jamberoo and Wollongong Azzuri, who played last year as Balgownie Azzuri, will come down into Masters 2.
Helensburgh have gone from four teams in 2009 (although one slunk out and ran away after some early hidings) to just two in 2010, so expect them to be much improved on last season.
Four Masters teams missed out on gaining entry into the league, and organisers tipped that an extra over 40s comp was likely for 2011.
From discussions I've had on both sides of the Maroon/White divide, it seems likely that we will keep the teams similar again this season.

Meanwhile, Coledale RSL were given a spot in Div 2 OPEN but after a complaint from a team which missed out, a redraw was done and they sensationally missed the cut.
There was no indication on where they expected to play their home games.
Perthaps the most significant news of the night was a decision by the members not to join with the other eight major stakeholders in Illawarra football and support unification under the Football South Coast banner. The IAFA was invited along with the other groups such as the professional IFA, the juniors, women's football and the Wolves to share admin and a board. The decision was made partly because FSC had determined not to let the IAFA choose who sat on the FSC board on their behalf.
This should have little effect on our competition, although some grounds we previously played on might not become available. It will also mean that we are no longer under the auspices of FNSW, the FFA or FIFA and their insurance. A separate insurance deal is being considered by the IAFA. In all, it could mean a cost saving to players but we will need to get more details before we finalise our rego fees for 2010.
I'd also like to urge anyone who isn't playing, or interested in taking a smaller role next season, to let me know as soon as possible so we know if we have any places available for new players.
Let me know if there are any questions on any of this at this stage.
