“It is great to see so many grassroots clubs stepping up to test their skills against the National Premier League and FNSW State League teams. Every year the number of local team entries increases, which demonstrates a growing awareness of the integrated talented player pathway, and an eagerness of aspiring local clubs to demonstrate their ability to compete at the next level.”
