25.01.2022 ODFA Female Football - Open Women's Comp - will begin Monday 9th November - 6:30pm @ JBP. (more info will be sent to players in the next 2 weeks). Registrations have been strong for the Open Women's Competition & we hope to have 8 teams starting the season. For the younger age groups we are also hoping to start on that same day, but we still need more players before the age groups can be finalised. Please register & send any formed teams through by Friday 23rd October, so there is time to begin at the same time as the Open Women. ODFA Executive

19.01.2022 To Clubs, This morning's Meeting with FNSW again reiterated that our ODFA Competition may continue. Snippets from the new Office of Sport letter. It mentions a couple of sentences that involve our ODFA teams; ... - Competitions should be run within the local district, zone or association boundaries determined by State Sporting Organisations or the Peak Body for the respective activity. FNSW are meeting with regional Associations this afternoon to discuss what will be considered a "Zone boundary" for our sport. - Competitions may run across local government areas within these boundaries, . In regional NSW (ie outside of Greater Sydney), existing competition structures or schedule should aim to minimise the need for overnight travel. If overnight travel is required in order to participate in sporting activities in regional NSW, carpooling or other shared transport arrangements should be avoided. The use of shared accommodation facilities that would lead to the mixing of people from different households should also be avoided. ODFA Executive
