An Important Message From The YJFL

By |June 25th, 2013|

Dear Club Presidents,

During the first half of the season it was pleasing to note that conduct across the League was generally of a satisfactory standard.  The numbers of reports of players and officials were down on previous years, and there were very few incident reports from umpires and clubs.

However, over the past couple of rounds the umpires have had reason to notify the League of […]

A great credit to the boys who never gave […]

This week I’d like to make special mention of our Under 14 Green side.
After a loss in round one the boys have really started to gel well together.
They have now won the last 5 on the trot and sit on top of the ladder in what is a very tight competition.
These wins have not been easy, often against far bigger sides, with last week […]
