EDFL President’s Message

The Parklea EDFL is again pleased to participate in the Worksafe AFL Victoria Community Championships.

Well done to all footballers and netballers in both leagues who have been selected to play.

To clash with the West Gippsland Football Netball Competition and a neighbouring league and one that now has five former EDFL clubs makes today all the more special for clubs, officials, players and fans, many who will be familiar with each other both on and off field.

Irrespective of who wins today - the overall championship experience including the training build up is invaluable for all players both under age and senior. To get the chance to represent your league is both an honour and also tremendous for a players development. Over many years now our league have noticed the improvement in players when they return to their club which is not only beneficial to the individual but their club and the league.

I’d like to thank our new U18 coach Mort Diston and Senior coach Daniel Fry

for their time, efforts and organisation and this extends to our support staff along with assistant coaches, trainers, runner’s and team managers. Thank you for volunteering your time over recent weeks and it would be remiss of me to not recognise the role the parents and guardians play supporting the juniors and all supporters who attend at Yarragon today. Also thanks to the Yarragon FNC – and a first year team in the EDFL – for your co-operation in hosting today’s game.

And also the EDFL would like to acknowledge all our sponsors in particular league naming right sponsor Parklea and another major sponsor in Viatek whose logo’s are present on this years jumpers.

Last but not least thank you to the umpires from the V-Line Academy who will officiate today.

Truly hope for an exciting day with all games played in good spirit and may the best sides win.

Roger Gwynne EDFL President

Alex Scott & Staff, Physioworks, the

WGFNC Advisory Committee and

all of our wonderful volunteers that

make this event happen. We also

welcome the selected umpires from

across AFL Victoria Country as part

of their Umpiring Academy program,

and good luck today. Thank you to

all 12 WGFNC clubs that nominated

players for today’s matches and for

Congratulations to all selected players

in football and netball – good luck and
