The Penola Football & Netball Club Executive has voted to rejoin the re-badged Western Border competition in 2024.
It is looking to its adult members, players and sponsors to support the move with a vote scheduled for McCorquindale Park at 6pm on August 31.
At least 67% of votes is needed for the move back to the re-badged Western Border to succeed.
 
7 teams isn't really an improvement - MID SE only has 8

This leaves the KNTFL with 9

It's a wonder Naracoorte haven't followed suit

Football incentives laid out | The SE Voice

Araft of incentives has been offered to Penola footballers and netballers to defect from the Kowree Naracoorte Tatiara competition and return to a re-badged Western Border in 2024. The SANFL and the six remaining Western Border clubs have guaranteed the KNT Eagles can have the lucrative grand...

Without presenting any evidence, the Penola memo claims some other clubs in the KNT have a much higher football player payments outlay than it does.

A reduction in the amount of travel is seen as another benefit of quitting the Kowree Naracoorte Tatiara.

The Penola clubs have expressed concern at the future of the KNT given other rumours about clubs folding.

How strong are these rumours about clubs folding?

Any chance of Kaniva heading back, believe the current president there was pretty keen a couple of years ago, think he may have been KNTFL president at some stage
 
I don't live down that way anymore now i'm up in QLD but my folks still do

I woulda thought the WBFL would have sought out maybe Edenhope/Apsley, Naracoorte and Penola

In Penola - The Penola Football Netball Club will
NOT join a re-badged Western Border competition in 2024 after only 63.9% of its members voted in favour of leaving the Kowree Naracoorte Tatiara at a meeting at the McCorquindale Park clubrooms tonight.
The votes were cast by members, adult players of both codes, life members and sponsors and a 66% vote was needed to switch leagues.

It would be interesting to know how many were present. That's likely only three to five people short of the required percentage and obviously the majority were in favour. But a 66% requirement seems fair on such a big change too.
 
Shame really - the juniors is where it's hurting most

some of the Mount Gambier clubs have too many juniors and a lot of the district teams struggle for numbers

They just need to make some regional junior league into conferences/regions to reduce travel then have a finals series but spread the players around

Here in Brisbane (I've been here for 10 years now) - kids in the NW suburbs where I live used to travel 1-2 hours to play youth or Junior games

Now they split it up into mini regional divisions so your longest trip is less than a 60 minute drive - ideal if you have multiple kids at different age levels

How they do that across the WBFL, MID-SE and KNTFL I got no fruiting idea - they'd have to get everyone on the same page first and agree on the same grades
 
they should apply to join the MID-SE
 
With the sheer amount of travel they need to try to make the max travel time for juniors and youth 60 minutes or less

And shorten the junior finals where they have a mass Junior SE of SA footy carnival in one city over a weekend at the end of year and rotate it

The Seniors they need to get everyone on the same page but if you're the MID-SE if it ain't broke don't fix it whilst the KNTFL and WBFL clearly need changes

They play all the games on the same day at the same ground in the KNTFL and Mid South East. Mostly the same in the WBFL as well
