Parade accepted into NFNL

257916_07

The Northern Football Netball League has confirmed that the Bundoora based Old Paradians Football Club have been accepted to join the competition ahead of the 2024 season.

The two clubs were voted into the NFNL by affiliate members at a special general meeting last week before their transfer from the Victorian Amateur Football Association was ratified by AFL Victoria.

Old Paradians had played in the VAFA since their inception in 1929, where they won 11 premierships.

Both senior men’s football sides are set to join division 3 next year, making it an 11-team competition.

NFNL chief executive officer Martin Stillman is looking forward to the two clubs having an immediate impact on the league.

“The Northern Football Netball League welcome the Ivanhoe and Old Paradians Football Clubs into the NFNL,” he said,

“We look forward to their contribution to the league in season 2024 and beyond”.
