Club Mergers and Disbandments

[MortlockWatcher]

In the Hills Football League, Ironbank and Bridgewater-Callington have had preliminary merger discussions and the Raiders have called a Special General Meeting for October 20.

Bridgewater's numbers are apparently very low.

If this merger proceeds, we may see a swift demise for the Division 2 competition through mergers, transfers to the Adelaide Football League or Southern Football League, or at worst, clubs disbanding.

Peake/Karoonda to be known as the Mallee Storm.

Good luck to the two clubs in their new adventure.

Bridgewater-Callington have announced via Facebook that today club members voted on a motion to amalgamate with the Ironbank-Cherry Gardens for the 2023 season under the terms of a Memorandum of Uunderstanding jointly prepared by a sub-committee from both clubs.

The motion to merge "has been unanimously approved by the members present".

The statement said that this will "start a new chapter in our proud history and look forward to a bright, strong and successful future with our partners at Ironbank Cherry Gardens FC".

If adopting the Giants uniform should be the Southern Mallee Giants.

Hopetoun and Beulah merged to become the Southern Mallee Giants in 2014.
They play in the Wimmera league.

Lameroo and Pinnaroo becoming the Suns should avoid any confusion between the two clubs.
