I think Merrylands and Irish would do quite well in the Grade competition, but can they get Colts?
OTOH, only 4 of the 7 teams fielded their own Colts this season, with Beecroft and Knox finishing top 4, and Barker and Iggies not having great years in terms of results (6th and 7th by a long way).
Does Div 3 need Colts?
Can it support Colts?
Would it be better to push for 3 Grades instead and run Colts in Radford for 7 weeks?
Lot of moving parts. Div 3 didn't always have Colts and in the post-post-COVID universe, anything is possible, including a bounce back of those Colts who finally got their Euro vacation out of the way
