Off season thoughts...?
With the continual expansion of Gawler East (and Concordia area), it would seem sensible to start discussions around forming a Gawler East/Sandy Creek football/netball club to join the BL&G based at Curdnatta Park for the following reasons:
- Existing facilities, with Curdnatta Park due for redevelopment by the Barossa Council (including netball/tennis courts) in the near future
- A strong Sandy Creek Netball Club already exists in G&DNA and could easily join into the stronger BL&GNA
- Can split games across the Gawler East oval facility once this is built (close geographically to Gawler, but not another Gawler club)
- Barossa District already have a strong population to draw from in Lyndoch/Williamstown
- BD have very strong juniors, and shouldn't be too badly affected by any GE/SC club (more opportunities for juniors in BL&G FA and NA)
