EDFL Fixture Update - 28th July

Official Statement


Following the second extended break to the season due to state lockdown restrictions, the EDFL can confirm these revised fixture dates and alterations.

The very best has been done to keep the integrity and the equality in this fixture.

There will now be some divisions that will have ladders based on wins percentage from games played due to byes not being equal across all teams.

Promotion and relegation will still apply as per usual in our senior men's competitions.

Full home-and-away fixtures for all senior and junior competitions can now be viewed here.
