WDJFL Season 2021 Fixture Released
WDJFL Season 2021 Fixture Released
After a lengthy process of club consultation and fixturing, the Wangaratta and District Junior Football League is excited to present the under 17s, under 14s and under 12s fixture for 2021.
This season, as we rebound from an extremely difficult sporting landscape in 2020, saw one of the more trickier fixturing seasons put together.
Three separate fixtures for the three separate age groups, with three different team numbers and make ups, while ensuring as many clubs were able to play together on the same day proved difficult; the WDJFL is excited to have the players back out on the field.
With Benalla dropping to one team in the under 17s this allowed the final age group of the WDJFL to enjoy 2021 without any bye weekends.
As clubs, parents, coaches and players return to the clubs for the first time since 2019 and by welcoming in new families freshly allocated in to the under 12s, the WDJFL is looking forward to a positive 2021 season as sport and life return to our new normal.

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!
