Kaniva-Leeor United will apply to join Horsham District Football Netball League for the 2021 season.
The Cougars, affiliated with cross-border Kowree-Naracoorte-Tatiara league, voted at a meeting last night to pursue the change.
The joint football-netball club now has to present its case to Horsham District league board for assessment and a decision.
The Cougars’ move comes after an exploration last month into a potential merger between Kaniva-Leeor United and neighbouring Wimmera league club Nhill. The Cougars had been keen for the merger but Nhill voted against the proposal.
