The league was created in 1987 following the demise of the former NTFA and NWFU. In the interests of fairness it was decided there should be one patron from the north and one from the north west – hence co-patrons. A similar situation existed for the first six years with respect to Board vice-presidents.

The Permit Committee resolved disputes where clubs could not agree to clear a player to a fellow club or to grant a permit for a player to a country association club. In more recent times clubs have little reason to hold players and any issues are determined by the Match Committee.

OTHER COMMITTEES (BY-GONE YEARS)

In earlier years other committees have existed, including:

• Umpires Appointment Panel – formal group which weekly appointed umpires.

• Promotion Committee – promoted special events including finals (18 members in 1989).

• Selection Committee – formally selected representative team players and coaching staff.

• Medical Officer – for representative teams and specialist advice (Dr Mark Heikkinen).

• Radio Program – weekly one-hour 7SD / 7AD / 7BU show run by Terry Morris (Examiner) and the General Manager. It was quite light-hearted and included “Paddy” Martin and Rohan Sherriff as regular guests.
