In 2002: National Pop League 2

Following an exciting debut in November, National Pop League returns to the Woodside Social Club in its new fixture on the final Friday of the month.

“I mean… the people I know through NPL give me so much faith. It amplifies everything and makes it a real cause. It’s like a mission. It’s the Pop League Army. Moments like this are the strategy and the theory, and there might be problems here and there, but this feeling runs through it like lettering through rock.”
