SENIOR MIDWEEK PENNANT
Spring 2025
This season featured 12 teams from 9 participating clubs, divided into 2 divisions each of 6 teams. The divisions were arranged to some extent on a geographical basis. The teams in each division played a round-robin series over 5 weeks. A playoff across both divisions decided the final placings, including the winners of the Peter & John Toogood Trophy.
An innovation in this edition of SMP was for each team to be known by an animal mascot. This allowed clubs to choose a mascot relevant to their club / course, and assisted in distinguishing two teams from the same club.
Northern Division Teams: Claremont Rosellas, Royal Hobart Roosters, Tasmania Eagles, Oatlands Turbo Chooks, Bothwell Rabbits, Oatlands Merinos
Southern Division Teams: Geeveston Wedgies. Huon Valley Hawks, North West Bay Pademelons, Royal Hobart Bandicoots, Tasmania Albatrosses, Kingston Beach Wood Ducks
