West Australian Football

The Community Football office would like to advise to all amateur clubs that season 2009 is scheduled to start the weekend after Easter. This is subject to change, but the start date is currently scheduled for April 18th for all grades, including A Grade.

We are working on a new database which will be up and running by the end of this month, and when it is, fixtures will be finalized and released. A new manual will be created and distributed, and a Sportingpulse workshop will be held to familiarize all clubs with the new system.

We would like to thank all clubs for their understanding and patience in the lead up to the 2009 season.

As the 2008 football season draws to a close, another football season is just about to start.

AFL Recreational Football has been recently developed to provide an opportunity for all Australian Football enthusiasts to enjoy participating in a modified game that has strong parallels with the traditional game.

The Wedgwood led the Australian side continued the good form in the second match against the National University of Ireland, this time taking out the game in more comfortable fashion by 42 points. The star of this match was fellow Western Australian and Wesley Curtin star Scott Horsburgh, his 3 unders and one over did all the damage as Australia romped home at one of the more scenic grounds in Ireland. In what was an Omen for the Irish side, heavy rain made it impossible to erect point posts and only “overs” (3 points) and “unders” (6 points) could be counted.
