EXCITING times are coming for the RDFNL Women’s league, as four clubs have been confirmed to join the league.
Macedon dominated the four-team league this year, winning their third grand final in a row.
Lancefield, Riddell and Mt Alexander already make up the competition, and they will now be joined by Diggers Rest, Melton South and Melton Centrals from the existing RDFNL teams, plus Wallan, who will leave the NFNL Women’s league to join its men’s team in the RDFNL.
It is fantastic news for the league, who will look to build the league to be as big as it has ever been.
“The growth of women’s football is important to the future of the RDFNL, and we want to work closely with our clubs to support them in establishing sustainable and successful women’s programs,” Grace Bibby, RDFNL General Manager of Operations, said.
“With several clubs taking positive steps towards entering teams in 2027, we are hopeful this will provide further opportunities for women and girls across our region to play football and contribute to the continued growth of the competition.”
Question marks still remain at Romsey, who had a team in 2025, Woodend-Hesket, Gisborne Giants and Kyneton.
