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.
See you back at the club as soon as possible!

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.
The uniforms have been designed by Indigenous artist Shu Brown, who is a relative of a number of our clubs players.
Before the senior game on Saturday we will also be holding a smoking ceremony to mark the occasion.
Make sure you get along for what should be a great day, & a big thanks to Shu for the awesome designs!
