i play in the second division which is competitive and i also play in the over 35s social competition which tends to get very competitive and the odd punch up is not unheard of. i used to play premier league but found that i cant keep up with 20 year olds anymore so gave that up a couple of seasons ago. you have to be prepared to put a fair bit into it due to the distances you need to travel for some games. there are a couple of teams in the second division that are a good hour and a half away from cairns. it tends to be a veryt long drive home if you get beat. when are you coming across? i play for marlin coast which are based in trinity beach. its also where the over 35s play and has a team in every league covering all standards and age groups.
