Ivory Tower
I hear what you're saying but how long do we have to wait?
Centrals have some things stacked against them but I'd suggest that for a long time they've had some tremendous advantages in terms of population that they have frankly squandered.
Yes I know their socio demographic has some difficulty but no different to down south where they have been tremendously successful in both juniors and seniors.
It may be a fact that there are too many Div 1 clubs. The talent is diluted and the competition weakened. There is enough evidence that suggests this is the case eg Centrals and W'ville were pretty uncompetetive last year. I'm not saying as a club they should fold but its no big deal if they don't field a senior women's team.
Let them work their demographic advantages, build a strong junior program and in 10 years time they will have a strong senior program.
Its not rocket science.
