This year will see two older age groups, under 14s and senior league tag, take the field for the first time in a number of years.
Club president Gina Lockyer is thrilled the club can provide teams for players who have come up through the ranks in the Spuds' junior teams.

"The senior league tag girls is the first we have had in quite a few years so we really want to drive it so we can get more girls," she said.
"We did have them years ago but it has been a long time.
"Those girls that have been there, it gives them the opportunity to follow right through the club.
"Just so families aren't split, they can watch from the younger age divisions right through.
"It gives the older girls and opportunity to keep playing and if they wish to play senior league down the track, it just keeps on flowing through."
The under 14s team will also take the field with a number of last year's under 12's squad making the step up.
"It is a huge positive for the club moving forward," Lockyer said.
"That is a big thing, we have been without an under 14s side for a while as well so that is positive as well.
"A lot of the kids from the grand final-winning side last year have gone up.
"We look pretty positive.
"We have worked hard and it has been a work in progress."
The season starts on March 30 with the Gordon Creighton Cup in Glen Innes.
