GISBORNE Thistle is to field a team in the 2016 Central Federation Premier League.
Jags chairman Ron Young told The Herald yesterday the club committee unanimously decided to make the step up. The team will be coached by Fred Robertson, with Liam Ryan his assistant.
The decision comes after Team
Gisborne’s announcement it would not be fielding a side in the Pacific Premier League.
“We feel that Gisborne is looking for this sort of thing,” said Young.
Team Gisborne winning the Pacific League three out of the past four seasons was a good build-up but it was now felt the players needed to go to a higher league, said Young. “The players will be excited about it . . . as well as the general public.”
