AFL Gippsland has released the Gippsland Senior Football Leagues Review draft recommendations.
The independent review committee last week presented its draft findings to the region’s football and netball leagues and clubs.
Proposed changes included the creation of a new league in West Gippsland and structural changes to the Alberton and Ellinbank and District football and netball competitions.
The review committee recommended AFNL clubs Dalyston, Kilcunda-Bass, Korumburra-Bena and Phillip Island join EDFL clubs Bunyip, Cora Lynn, Garfield, Koo Wee Rup and Nar Nar Goon in the newly-formed West Gippsland Football Netball Competition in 2017.
In 2017 the Ellinbank & District Football League will comprise of nine teams;
Buln Buln, Catani, Ellinbank, Lang Lang, Longwarry, Neerim South, Nilma Darnum, Poowong, & Warragul Industrials.
Current E&DFL team Nyora has been moved to what is now forecast to be a nine team Alberton Football Netball League in 2017.
Any clubs wishing to appeal against the recommendations must provide AFL Gippsland with their submission before 5pm on 11th March.
Three of the region’s leagues – Gippsland League, North Gippsland Football Netball League and Mid Gippsland Football League and Netball Association – remain unchanged.
More details including full review report are available on the AFL Gippsland Website.
