Round 9 & Social Calendar Update
We’re back at Bungaree tomorrow as we resume our senior competitions for 2021, make sure you get out to the club to cheer on all of our teams! Please make sure you use the QR code to check in at the gate, carry your mask with you & wear it whilst inside. The members draw is also up to $700, so you will want to be in the rooms at the end of the day to ensure you don’t miss out!
We have some important news in regard to our social calendar for 2021, as you would be aware we were forced to postpone our ball due to the latest lockdown, we have now confirmed a new date for the event. It will be held on Saturday the 14th of August following our round 17 matches against Newlyn. Unfortunately Oscars, and many other venues have already been booked out for this date, so at this stage it will be held at Bungaree, more details will be posted in the coming weeks.
There has already been lots of tickets sold for the event, and we are aware that the new date will not suit everybody, so if for any reason you cannot make the new date and would like a refund on your ticket please email the club at bungareefnc1@gmail.com and we will process you for a refund.
Lastly, also because of the lockdown we were not able to host our Indigenous Round as planned, we will still be holding this day later in the year. At this stage, our senior football & netballers will be wearing the designs and the other items planned for the day will be happening in Round 13 (17th of July), when we take on Waubra. More details on this will be announced closer to the day!
See you tomorrow, #gobunga

Unfortunately with today’s announcement in regards to regional Victoria’s restrictions for the next week we have no choice but to postpone our Ball which was due to take place this weekend.
We are currently working on securing a new date for the event, once we have this confirmed we will be in touch with all of the details.
Fingers crossed we can be back at the club and in each other’s company as soon as possible!
Round 8 Update
Hi All, please see the below correspondence from the CHFL in relation to this weekends matches, all adult matches unfortunately are not able to go ahead.
“The CHFL Board of management met tonight after the latest Covid announcements today regarding community football and netball advice from the government.
The Board stance is that the leagues juniors will play this weekend to ensure the junior players have every opportunity to play as much football as possible this season.
Match times will remain as is however players must arrive ready to commence play and leave the ground as soon as practicable after their matches finish.
Players, coaches, support staff and any other volunteers required to facilitate the days matches are NOT included in the 50 allowed spectators at the ground.
Parents must abide by a one parent per player attendance rule.
Clubs are asked to request a donation at the gate, this worked well last year during the four weekends the league held junior matches.
Your club may run a canteen but ensure it is under Covid safe procedures.
QR code compliance is vital to host matches, please ensure you follow this protocol. All club members know that they must comply.
Any club who chose not to participate this weekend will have their matches considered a forfeit.”
Round 7 Postponed
In line with the recently announced 7-day Victoria wide lockdown, this weekend’s Round 7 matches against Creswick have been postponed.
The CHFL have advised that all matches scheduled for this weekend will now take place on the Queen’s Birthday Weekend (Saturday June 12), which was previously set as a league wide bye.
Unfortunately, this also means that our Indigenous Round celebrations due to take place this weekend will also be postponed to the 12th of June.

Indigenous Round 2021
It will be a special day for the club this weekend when we host Creswick for Indigenous Round, for the first time the senior teams will be wearing specially designed Bungaree Indigenous football jumpers & netball dresses.
