Div 1 Summer Nominations
How do people feel about other clubs (not current founding member clubs) nominating for Div 1 over the summer season?
The concept is that teams/players from the affiliate clubs get the opportunity to compete against Div1 teams and players over summer when those teams are not at full strength. It gives exposure to the players who are currently playing Div 2 at the higher level and gives them a chance to continue developing their game. Potentially this should only be open to Div 2 teams who have finished in the finals the season before.
Considering that over summer many of the players playing Div 1 are reserves players during winter there is not a massive step up between the grades, but still allows Div 1 teams to play against some different teams who are of a similar standard.
I would go as far as saying that over summer many of the Div 2 teams would be as strong, if not stronger than some of the Div 1 teams.
