EDFL Statement: East Sunbury Football Club

League Statement


The Essendon District Football League wishes to advise that the East Sunbury Football Club will not be playing any senior men’s or women’s matches on Saturday, July 5 in memory of Joshua Bishop, and out of respect for the Bishop family.

The Bishop family have been, and continue to be an integral part of the East Sunbury Football Club and the entire East Sunbury community. The EDFL extends its deepest condolences to Kristie, Travis, Joshua's brothers, extended family, friends, and the wider community.

The affected matches include the Under 18.5, Reserves, Senior Men’s, and Senior Women’s grades. Further, the club has made the decision to play junior games on Sunday.

East Sunbury Football Club kindly requests that everyone respects the family’s privacy as they navigate this period of mourning.
