A review of Wednesdays 2026 and what we have coming up
Winter 2026
I hope you are having a good off season, after two weeks break from touch I thought I’d take a chance to reflect on the season that was.
The weather was perfect for our final night and 2 out of 4 grand finals could not have been any closer (both a 4 all draw),and it was also great to see such healthy numbers at the Wild Geese afterwards for the end of season celebration and the visit of our local MLC Sheena Watt. There are some great photos on the website of our final nights (not just GF teams).
Formal team and presentational photos of Dunneworthy (A grade premiers) and Charlies Angels from the fields/clubhouse:

I’ve also put together a gallery of all 35 teams that participated across the season here:

This gallery links through to an archive of photos for your team going back through the past (we’ve 4 teams who go back to the early 2000’s or earlier). Check it out.
Anyway thanks for being part of our Winter season, as someone who organises a team I know it can be challenging but rewarding. It was our largest (most number of teams) and equal longest (most weeks) Winter and our third with a clubhouse (although we did not use it as much as we should have). There were some issue with field markings and not everyone understood the expectations of membership but overall a success I think
But there is no point blowing smoke up our own backside. So if there is anything that you or your teammates think we can improve upon or any feedback we want to know. Email or call is fine or call or you anonymous feedback form here:

We are a competition that is run for and by its members (which includes the current players and referees) so please pass it on to your teammates. I am a huge believer in constructive criticism so don’t hold back.
Now onto the future:
SWITCH Spring 2026
The second module of our women’s program SWITCH starts on the 08th of October. The free program teaches basic fitness, ball skills and an introduction to game play with the emphasis on having fun in what we believe is the best game. We supply everything, all participants need to bring is their boots. More info and rego here:

Please circulate to the women in your team or the women in your life as it is an amazing program.
Summer 2026-27
Rego’s are open for our Summer 2026-27season, all the details are on the website:

Three important things though
If you have not yet registered, start rallying troops. Best not to leave this to the last moment. If you are not entering a team but have players who are still keen to stay involved please put them in touch with me and I´ll find them a home. This is important as we are a touch community here in the inner north.If you are considering entering a team and need extra players let me know and I’ll send some through (I have a long list already).
Hopefully see you over Summer as we fire up the BBQ in Summer back in Princes Park.
