Who are the premiers for 2019 Autumn season across the grades in the midweek and thursday competitions?

The NWSL competition was a VERY large competition back in 1985. There were a number of competitions: Mens midweek, Womens midweek, Sunday mixed, Masters ( must have been a fairly new addition ), Mens Friday, & Friday Womens. Check out the pictures provided by Garry Gilbertson from Essendon Squash.... thanks Garry! Mostly 10 grade teams . Count the number of grades , 10 teams per grade , multiply by players , ( assuming at least four players per team ). So by my very rough estimate assuming only four players per team , and factoring that some players play more than one comp , I estimate that the player pool was upwards of 3,000. Yes Sunday mixed was a new experience to play with the opposite sex . Previously, men only played against men, ditto for women .
