Premier Division remains the same teams with a 10 team comp.
Division One contains 8 Premier Reserves teams, with UTS & Manly-Warringah being promoted from 1st Division after successive grand final appearances, while Balmain & Campbelltown have been demoted.
Division Two contains 4 teams from 1st Division Seniors of 08, plus Balmain & Campbelltown,with Manly Warringah & UTS being promoted from 1st Div res, Sydney Uni up from 2nd Division, East Coast adding their own stand-alone team, and Penrith & Nor-West being relegated.
Division Three contains 3 teams from 1st Division Reserves, plus Penrith & Nor-West, with Pennant Hills, UNSW/ES Bulldogs, Moorebank Sports (formerly South West Sydney) and UTS being promoted from 2nd Division, and Nor-West, Penrith and Camden reserves being relegated.
Division Four contains 6 remaining 2nd Division teams of 08, plus Camden, Nor-West, Moorebank Sports & Penrith reserves.
All in all, a much better fit for all teams involved, and a great chance for the Jets to play finals in both divisions. No better incentive to show up to pre-season training, tuesdays & thursdays at Bensons Lane from 615pm.
Keep your eye on the White and the Blue in 2009!!
