O/45s

[brokenolbear]

How many teams are in for 2016

[beeper]

Toonie will be back. Will be mostly the same team but will have a few new faces due to some retirements.

[beeper]

Based on last years O45 teams, there should be:

Kellyville x 2
Winston Hills x 2
Greystanes
Pendle Hill
Auburn FC
Toongabbie
Holroyd
Lidcombe
Ermington
Rouse Hill
Parramatta

13 teams in total. I'd suggest that's enough for 2 divisions. Of course a few more teams would be better.

It will be interesting to see if there are any transferring of players to the SHFA comp, or perhaps players switching clubs to ensure they play GDSFA football in 2016.

[Former BHills 45s Player]

Might be jumping the gun at bit, but I would be surprised if there was 13 teams this year. From the latest rumours I have heard, there are already question marks over at least 2 of these teams. Also it is difficult to see 2 divisions working given that Parramatta, Rouse Hill and the second Winsto team were at a standard quite a bit below all the rest.

I heard also Greystanes might have 2 teams this year.

Lidcombe waratahs are looking for a few more players as some retired.
Training at Coleman next wednesday 3rd Feb 7pm anyone who wants a run.

As you know, North Rocks have moved to the Hills district but there will be no o45 team (and possible no division) as most of us are moving on and have decided to join West Ryde, which is part of the Gladesville league, as many of the players are closer to that area. Apart from the extra travel (i'm in northmead), i am not looking forward to the slide tackles which Granville don't allow.

Anyway, good luck to you all and it was a pleasure playing you last year.

Despite all of the uncertainty associated with the SHFA & GDSFA split, I'm sure it will be another enjoyable season for the old boys in the O45's division(s). Looking forward to round 1 starting on 2nd April.

[Breaking News]

Winston Hills 45/2s will not have a team this year. Thanks to the guys for last year, really enjoyed playing. All the best for the future.

[thewatcher]

at this stage Greystanes are very close to having two teams for the 45s, Probably not enough to confirm at this stage, but close. If anyone is looking for a home this year I'm sure the Stanes boys would welcome you with open arms.....and an open esky

[Former BHills 45s Player]

Are there any O45/2 teams or O35 div 5 or lower looking for an extra player for this season. I played for Winston Hills 45/2 last season, but the team has folded due to a lack of players. Will play in either Granville or Hills competition. Unfortunately Greystanes is probably a bit far away.

Kellyville Kolts have spaces in their Div 2 team. Pop along to training on Tuesday nights at Burnie Mullane.

Mate, come along and bring your mates to the "O35 or O45 teams" at Kellyville Utd FC, the beers are better and you'll play in the local Hills Football Family. Contacts are on the Kellyville United web site: www.kellyvilleunitedfc.com.au

Yep, got a couple of spots at Baulko, give me a call 0439 073 793

Norwest are fielding a 45's side this year in the SHFA. I believe a team/players from Winsto is coming across . They are still looking for more players to complete the squad, call me on 0412 622 453 and I can get you in touch with them. Great family friendly and growing rapidly club.

[theklopp]

Welcome back for another season guys. Not sure but don't the SHFA have there own forum for poaching new players? maybe the 10 Members are already playing somewhere so its back to Granville to see who else is available?

not welcome here thanks

Before you sign up Newbie just confirm your home ground.Lots of changes and new clubs are all over the place

[Thekoltskid]

Mudman, I heard they are all happy with their grounds allocations , where did you get your information from?

[Former BHills 45s Player]

I must say I am tempted to play for Baulko because of the location. I am assuming home games would still be at Ted Horwood Reserve. Having said this, I actually approached Baulko before I approached Winsto last year and the guy at Baulko I emailed gave me the impression that if I wasn't at least Australian second XI standard he wasn't interested. I do also have reservations about the Hills comp though, there are a number of very good over 45 teams in the Hills and if there isn't at least 2 divisions this will cause huge problems. Having said this, Granville Assoc. will also have huge issues in O45s if they can't field at least 2 divisions. Will be interesting to see who is graded in Div 1 and 2, as both Auburn and Toongabbie need to be in Div 1.
