New logo for the Ovens & King FNL

The Ovens & King Football Netball League Board (OKFNL) is proud to present a new and inclusive league logo for the 2022 season and beyond.

With the league becoming a football netball league in 2005, and with many clubs quickly following suit, the OKFNL Board wanted to create a logo that incorporated all aspects of the league.

Netball Premierships have been won since 1956 with a proud history which has seen many dynasties of dominance in its time, ably led by Fay Morgan whom the A Grade league Best and Fairest Medal is named after, and celebrated 50 years in 2006.

Since then, the netball grades have added a B Reserve and an Under 15s grade to now see five grades of netball played on a Saturday and with many clubs eyeing multiple Premiership Cups each year.

OKFNL Board Chair Peter Byrne said the time was right to change the logo.

“Late in 2021, it was decided to change the league’s logo,” Byrne said.

“Everyone thought it was important to change it and to represent netball, as we are a football netball league and have been for many years.

“It isn’t just the logo for guernsey’s, dresses and shorts, this change will be reflected on our life member badges as well.”

The OKFNL Board has made the move to allow netballers to wear shorts and tops in matches in the OKFNL.

“We wanted to relax the By-Laws surrounding netball uniform requirements to make netball more comfortable for all players, and to hopefully increase participation in all grade levels,” Byrne said.

“Shorts and polo shirts will need to be in club colours and approved by the Board to ensure they are of similar standard league-wide. It will be up to each individual player with what they want to wear.

“We will be among the first sporting league’s in North East Victoria to incorporate this which is something we are proud of.”

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".
