Goulburn North East is still waiting for confirmation of just what adult men's competition will be contested next Summer Zone League season.

While there has been no definitive answer on the future of the senior men's component of summer league, the FFV has given assurances that the current crop of under-18 boys will ... |

| Dec 10, 2008 1:49PM | Soccer socked, foot's on the ball
The F-word could be spoken far more frequently in the Goulburn Valley sporting community next year. North Eastern Soccer League yesterday confirmed it would place a potential name change to North Eastern Football League on its annual meeting agenda. It falls into line with a nationwide trend of soccer communities ditching "soccer" and adopting the game's more-recognised name worldwide. Labelling a soccer competition with the word "football" would not be a first in country Victoria - leagues suc... |

The first-year coach, who also has a role at Melbourne club Werribee, said he was yet to make a decision if he would be back in the league next year.
