WELCOME TO THE 2024 EFNL JUNIOR GRAND FINAL DAY.
On behalf of the EFNL we would like to thank our naming rights partner Eastland, for their continued support of the league again in 2024. We would also like to acknowledge our support partners – Bendigo Bank, Deakin University, MEGT, Yarra Valley Water, BJS, Carsales, Ringwood Mazda and Hawthorn Football Club for their support throughout the season.
The 2024 season saw 39 clubs compete in the EFNL junior season with over 420 teams registered, ranging from Under 8’s through to Under 18 Girls. This weekend we have 30 different clubs competing in the 41 Grand Finals.
Congratulations to all players taking the field this weekend. To our coaches, matchday officials, club officials, parents and carers, we thank you for your support and guidance to each participant this season.
A big thank you, congratulations and good luck to our junior umpires on their big day and for their commitment throughout the year.
Thank you to the host clubs for hosting our Junior Finals series and being flexible with the current weather issues over the past weeks. Hosting finals is an integral component of our competition, and the league thanks your volunteers for their dedication. The finals would not be able to take place without you and the hospitality shown by host clubs this year has once again been excellent.
We would also like to thank Junior Manager Daniel Houeix who in his first year with the league has been tremendous. Thank you to our many ground managers, the EFNL Junior Advisory, and our dedicated EFNL staff for their efforts in bringing the season and finals to fruition.
Please be reminded to ensure that the environment and atmosphere on and off the field is positive and respectful. Regardless of the result, today is an exciting and memorable experience for every participant, umpire, and spectator.
Best of luck to all teams playing Grand Finals!
