Each year, graduating Auskickers and new junior players in the Wangaratta region are allocated to a local Wangaratta & District Junior Football League Club (WDJFL). To help assist this process for 2021, AFL North East Border and the WDJFL will be running three training sessions in January at the WJ Findlay Oval in Wangaratta.

Two local football netball clubs are set to receive a funding boost to upgrade their lighting infrastructure through the Country Football Netball funding program! The Milawa Football Netball Club who compete in the Ovens & King FNL and Barnawartha Football Netball Club competing in the Tallangatta & District Football League will both receive funding through the Country Football Netball Program which through a partnership between the Victorian Government, AFL, AFL Victoria and Netball Victoria aims to support county football and netball clubs infrastructure improvements and developments. A total of 7 clubs across Victoria received funding in this round, and with two clubs successful in the North East it is a great outcome for football in the region and both clubs should be congratulated for the work they have put in to be successful! We look forward to seeing these projects come to life!
