The ESF CEO (Chris Walker-Bush) and vice president (Nathan Hoy) are proud to announce the member sides of the new look ESF. Whilst it was tough to cut members, particularly long term ones, we thought it necessary to promote competition and minimise controversy.
PREMIER LEAGUE
Gold Coast
Wellington
Central
Perth
Parramatta
DIVISION TWO
Capetown
Newcastle
Sydney
Hawkesbury
This means Coffs Harbour, Carnarvon, North Melbourne, Penrith, and Suva leave the alliance. Carnarvon and North Melbourne's recent inactivity was the primary reason for their dismissal- whilst Coffs, Penrith, and Suva are promising sides- but not part of the immediate plans for the ESF.
Newcastle and Sydney have been taken on as 'potential' sides, and ones we'd like to aid in promotion to Premier League.
