Contested PROD, original rationale was "Non-notable club, doesn't play in notable league or national cup competition" - I see no evidence from reliable sources to counter that. Giant Snowman 08:15, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Clubs that have competed in the Northern Territory Northern Zone Premier League appear to be treated as notable. However the Port Darwin FC players are certainly not notable. League Octopus (League Octopus 08:22, 26 June 2012 (UTC)).[reply]

Keep. They play in the top league of the Northern Territory, a regional competition that sits in the second-ish tier of Australian football. That league's results are listed at Soccerway alongside the other state and regional top leagues. There is no national cup competition in Australia. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:39, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
