Last year Camden's 19's played in Div 1 and won 1 or 2 games. The junior competition in the area is growing but it will be a long long time until their is significant change in the current numbers feeding through from 17's to 19's and senior footy.
In the Zone of these 3 Senior clubs there is currently 4x Under 17's teams(3rd, 4th, 5th and 1 which hasn't won a game all year), 3x Under 15's(2nd, 3rd and 6th), 3x Under 14's(2nd, 4th and 5th), 4x Under 13's teams(1 in Div 1 running last, 3 in Div 2 running 4th, 5th and 6th). So you can safely assume that in the Next 5-6 Years that there will hardly be a massive influx of Premier Division Quality 19's coming through head to Camden once you factor in drop off rates as well as the ones that head to Campbelltown, SWS as well as Wollondilly who will also try to recruit from the area also.
The area definitely needs a Premier Division Presence but the way it is structured now leaves it destined to failure again.
