I'm glad to see Kiwi Hawthorn return back to it's former self. They were one club that always promoted a strong 'club' culture and would always participate in the social traditions of a Rugby Club (read: drink lots of Beer) after a match, no matter where they were home and away. I'm also glad that we can preserve club identities, even in our small competition. I don't really like the idea of mergers or grouping certain clubs in for a super competition (was it the pillar cup a few years ago).
From what I see it doesn't seem like Box Hill were dramatically affected by the change anyway. Well, it didn't help them on the 1st grade score sheet anyway...*sigh*
