The details for the Essential Energy Tamworth AFL North v South game were finalised at the EETAFL Executive meeting on the 8th of June. This most anticipated game is going to be held on Saturday 23rd July at Tamworth's No.1 Oval. The North team will have players from the New England Nomads, Inverell Saints and the Narrabri Eagles. The North Coach will be current EETAFL Premiership coach Nick Baird from the Saints. With the North team coming from the current second, third and fifth place EETAFL ladder they will be hard to beat. The South team will be made up of the Gunnedah Bulldogs, Muswellbrook Cats, Tamworth Kangaroos and Tamworth Swans. They will be coached by past Kangaroos Premiership winning coach and player, Tony Bishop. With the Kangaroos sweeping all before them, the Bulldogs sitting in 4th place on the ladder, the Cats just starting to find some long lost form and the Swans putting up some Premiership players the South team will be no push overs.
Squads for both teams will be announced after final nominations come in on the 1st of July. Teams will be announced after that.
The Tamworth Australian Football League would like to thank its Platinum Sponsor, Essential Energy, and its two Gold Sponsors Gerry Griffiths Consulting Engineers and Southern Cross Ten for their assistance in staging this match.
