AFLNEB Female Football League Finals Begin

AFLNEB Female Football League Finals Begin

The Elimination and Qualifying Finals for the AFLNEB FFL 2021 Season commence on Sunday at Lavington Sports Ground. It has seemed a long journey to reach this point as we navigated a few hurdles throughout the year, so we are excited to be at the business end of the season.

Sunday marks the first finals matches for the U14 competition, and they are shaping to be exciting to watch. Wodonga Bulldogs are playing finals footy in their first year in the competition, aiming to progress against a hungry United outfit comprising players from Alpine Lions, Thurgoona and Yarrawonga. The other match in this age group features Lavington Panthers and Wodonga Raiders, two sides who have had a stellar year, winning almost all of their matches.

The U17 competition will be hotly contested as always. United will have their work cut out for them as they take on Wodonga Raiders in the Elimination Final. Both sides will be eager to play well today and extend their season and remain in the hunt for a Premiership. The Qualifying Final between Lavington Panthers and Murray Felines is set to be a cracker. Lavington got the best of the Felines in their first two meetings, however the most recent match between them ended in a draw. The prize on offer is a ticket straight to the Grand Final, while a Preliminary Final date awaits the other side.

Wangaratta Rovers Open Women’s side will make their finals debut as they face Murray Felines in the Elimination Final. The Rovers are excited to be playing at this time of year and will be motivated to make the most of their opportunities, but it won’t come easy against a Felines side keen to stage an upset. The Qualifying Final between Wodonga Raiders and Lavington Panthers is going to be very interesting. The Raiders have beaten Lavington on all three occasions thus far on their way to an unbeaten campaign and will aim to keep that momentum going. Lavington have certainly enjoyed a great season themselves, their only losses have been against the Raiders by a combined margin of 22 points. A possible Grand Final preview, this will be a match you will not want to miss.

Good luck to everyone for the matches this weekend, remember to follow all requirements related to COVID-19 restrictions (face masks are mandatory at NSW events indoors and outdoors), and support your team in a positive way with respect for the game and all involved.

Lead Your Way 2025

By Zac Hedin • December 3, 2024

The Lead Your Way Program is back, giving women and gender-diverse people volunteering in community football leadership the opportunity to level up their skills and network. If you're a current committee-level volunteer at a community football club in our Metropolitan Leagues or Country Regions, this program is for you! Bronwyn McGorlick from the Wangaratta Rovers Female Football Club was a participant in 2024 and had this to say about the program - "It's been really great to connect with all the other leaders involved in footy. Sometimes you can be involved in your won club and not realise that there is this massive network of people out there, so I think that's been the best thing about it".
