The newly-formed club, which was born out of East Warrnambool-YCW and Killarney, will don orange and charcoal colours for its inaugural Warrnambool and District Cricket Association campaign.

Titans co-president Luke Smith said the colours - inspired by AFL expansion outfit Greater Western Sydney Giants - were unique to the association.

"It was a couple of the Killarney lads' ideas, the colours, and we wanted to run with the orange and charcoal," he said.

"It's a pretty good combination and we were happy to go something different that stood out. With a new club, it's a new start and we wanted to go something fresh. You've only got one chance to get it right and by going a different colour, the hope is that someone is driving past the cricket ground can recognise that's where we're playing."

The fresh kit will mark a change from both East Warrnambool's maroon and gold and Killarney's green, white and red. Southern Titans - which is likely to field its highest team in division two this season - is one of five teams who could potentially press for promotion under revamped WDCA structures this coming summer.

No final decision has been made but The Standard understands a promotion and relegation format is exceedingly likely to be introduced.

Smith said the Jones Oval and Killarney-based outfit was building towards its first competitive season. He said it was pleased to lock in coach Jarryd Walsh in June and was confident with the players at its disposal. "It's all been really good. We've had quite a few people put their hands up to help and that's been really positive," he said.

"We've had some players popping up and coming back and I think the next thing is pushing hard for the juniors now and start doing a few things with schools and things like that.

"The advantage is that we have the school right beside the ground and also with Killarney, in the Moyne area there aren't a lot of juniors playing.

"We can sort of tap into Killarney way and we'll probably look to play a lot of the juniors out there on the hard wicket. It'll be good to reach into some new areas for junior players." He said the club would love "another one or two players" but was satisfied with the talent at its disposal.

"I think we'll be pretty competitive in all three grades," Smith said. "You never stop looking at players though. You've always got your ears to the ground and you're always listening to who's on the move and whatnot."
