Exciting year of Eastern and Western Prem football completed! Don't be surprised if Whanganui push on here and instantly become one of the better sides in CL2.

In the West, will be interesting to see if Levin turn these years of challenges into a proper title fight. Will someone like NP Rangers push on and make a challenge for the playoffs?

In the East, United will be looking to go a step further next year next season but I've heard a rumor that Jimmy Sommerton is headed for Australia which will be a huge loss. Havelock won't be happy with a trophy-less season so expect them to be right up there again next season! Hopefully the league doesn't drop below 8 teams but I won't be too surprised to see Maycenvale take a year out to rebuild after a turbulent time.

I can't see Rangers doing much, they've lost their best player to Aussie. Levin comfortable winners but depends on the recruitment merry-go-round for the other clubs.

In the West a lot will be determined by who replaces Athletic. Peringa won the naki champs but pulled out of the league last year. Whanganui City are the only 1st team in the Manawatu Champs but could only finish 3rd, Athletic Ressies were awful and finished rock bottom.
