Tallangatta & District Football League Season Cancelled

Tallangatta & District Football League Season Cancelled

After much consideration, the Dunn’s Twin City Cranes Tallangatta District Football League has cancelled its 2020 season due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

At a meeting of club Presidents on Wednesday June 24th, the season was cancelled for all senior, reserve and underage football with several factors influencing the decision.

Dunn’s Twin City Cranes TDFL President Rex Gray said, “This is a significant decision for the league and follows an extensive consultation process with our clubs over several weeks and monitoring of the COVID-19 restrictions”.

“We have said all along that the health and safety of our communities is our highest priority, in cancelling all grades of football we are maintaining that philosophy. Secondary factors of financial and volunteer strain are real and by cancelling the 2020 season, we are preserving the financial security of member clubs.” he said.

Whilst the Dunn’s Twin City Cranes TDFL will not be conducting a season, several clubs have expressed interest in providing opportunities for junior teams to play within the COVID-19 limitations which Gray said would be a matter for individual clubs.

“As a league we won’t be conducting a season however, we appreciate that restrictions vary for junior sport and should clubs wish to organise localised matches they should do that by arrangement and continue to ensure safety measures are maintained as the highest priority” said Mr. Gray.

“We have strong family clubs and whilst it is devastating not to provide a 2020 season, we will collectively work together to ensure we maximise the opportunities that 2021 will provide for community football and netball”.

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".
