The league will play a "City vs Country under 16s game as a forerunner to the planned introduction of an Under 16s competition in 2006. The country team will be made up of players from Inverell, Narrabri and Gunnedah with the City side being made up of players from the Tamworth Swans and Kangaroos clubs. Saints seniors coach Dick Gleeson has agreed to coach the Country team. Mr. Gleeson says the team will train next Tuesday and Thursday night at 6 in preparation for the match. A number of the Saints senior players have offered to help with the team's preparation. If this game is a success it is hoped that this will become a regular feature of the TAFL Grand Final day in the future.
In the meantime, The Saints presentation night will be held on Friday night the 23rd of September at the Riverside Restaurant followed by an AFL Grand final day function at The Empire Hotel on Saturday the 24th of September. Further details of both functions will be announced shortly.
