The winds of change have blown into the Picola District Football Netball League this season.
While the league format remains at 15 teams, Dookie United has crossed over from the Kyabram District League while Yarroweyah has entered recess for 2025.
However, will that translate to different premiers?
Deniliquin Rovers don the dress in a quest for a third consecutive A-grade netball flag while Waaia seeks to go one better, hunting a four-peat on the senior football front.
Whether or not the Bombers or Rovers can be dethroned or not will be revealed in a high-octane PDFNL campaign that’s about to kick off.
