FFL Season 2021 Fixture Released
The North East Border Female Football League is excited to release the fixture for Season 2021.
The season will begin on Saturday 10th April at Lavington Sports Ground, with the clash between Lavington Panthers and Wodonga Raiders in the U14, U17 and Open Women’s competitions.
The remainder of Round 1 will be played on Sunday 11th April with some intriguing matchups. Wangaratta Rovers will host the recently combined teams of Alpine Lions, Thurgoona Bulldogs and Yarrawonga Pigeons. The three clubs decided to keep their players in the game by combining for the 2021 season and will head to W.J. Findlay Oval for their first game together.
The other matchup sees Murray Felines visit Martin Park in Wodonga, to take on Wodonga Bulldogs, who join the league for the first time in their history. Wodonga will field an U14 side in 2021, leaving the U17 and Open Women’s teams from Murray Felines with the bye.
The season will be played over 14 Rounds, culminating in a three week finals series beginning on Sunday 25th July, with the Grand Finals on Sunday 8th August.
There is a general bye for the Queen’s Birthday weekend in June. There will be some football this weekend, however, as the league will compete in our first ever representative match against AFL Canberra. More details will follow on this exciting opportunity in the near future.
On behalf of League Management, we wish all players, coaches, club officials and volunteers the best of luck for the season ahead.

Ben has been involved with the local Wangaratta Auskick centre for five years and the coordinator for four of those, the exciting announcement was announced at the allocation night for Auskickers graduating to the Wangaratta and District Junior Football League in front of local Auskickers, parents and local WDJFL Clubs. The prize for the award is a grand final weekend experience including three nights' accommodation in Melbourne, a ticket to the Welcome to Melbourne function, attendance at the grand final parade, and a reserve seat ticket to the 27 September grand final. Over his time, Ben has secured significant sponsorship for the program; has initiated the all-girls' group; provides a support network for smaller centres across Wangaratta and surrounding regions; contributes to community events like allocation night and puts in a heap of extra work with the allocation process; organises half-time Auskick games at local football league matches; and, of course, the countless hours spent organising jumpers, certificates, equipment and everything in between, year after year. Wangaratta is regularly one of the biggest centres in the state, if not the nation, and this year was the biggest in Victoria. That, as you can imagine, makes it almost a full-time commitment, year-round. A huge congratulations to Ben from everyone at AFLNEB!
