Any word from anybody about any teams that weren't in the leagues that might be interested? I'm trying to figure out what they might look like next year but the only change out of both leagues I can see happening is Gisborne Boys High dropping out due to the fact they ended up defaulting the second half of the season.
Also finding it hard to think of any teams in Hawkes Bay or Gisborne that would even be interested in being promoted to the Eastern Premiership. The only other clubs in Hawkes Bay not involved are Eskview (who haven't been in the prem leagues for years), Hastings Hibernian (who also haven't competed above social levels in years), and Napier South who I'm not sure have ever played really competitively. Gisborne doesn't look super strong as well, the league below Prems was won by a social team named after a local pub.
