There are currently 10 teams, including Taree Wildcats, in the most senior men's football league on the mid and north coast. The committees overseeing football in the region are inviting applications from clubs to expand the competition to 12 teams.
CPL started in 2020 and aims to provide a higher-level competition for players on the mid and north coasts. At present, there are five teams from the Coffs Harbour area and five teams from the mid-north coast, taking in Port Macquarie, Taree and Kempsey.
Both Football Mid North Coast and North Coast Football have received approaches from clubs wishing to join the competition. All clubs in both football zones will be given until August 31 to apply to join the competition.
Should the committees approve additional teams from those applications, it is anticipated there would be one team from the mid-north coast and one from the north coast, which takes in the Coffs and Clarence areas.
