A RESURGENT Boort will welcome Nullawil to North Central football.
The Magpies will be at home to the league’s ninth club when the 2023 season starts on April 15.
Nullawil’s entry into North Central comes after two attempts to leave Golden Rivers in 12 months - the latest bid receiving the backing of their former league and its clubs.
The Maroons dominated Golden Rivers competition in recent seasons but can expect a baptism of fire against what is shaping as the strongest side to take to Boort Park in years under new coach Dale Cameron.
Magpie recruits included AFL flag star Shane Biggs and a host of ex-locals back at their home club in a bold move by Boort to jump into genuine contention.
The 2023 draw will see both Loddon clubs playing home matches on the same days. Wedderburn and Boort will meet at Boort Park in round five on May 13 and at Donaldson Park in round 14 on July 22.
The season will have only one bye - May 20 - with matches scheduled on the King’s Birthday weekend and throughout July.
League president Tim Lockhart said: “Round one between Boort and Nullawil will be exciting for the league and Nullawil. They’ve had quite a journey over the last few years.”
