The Essendon District Football League women’s competition has expanded to four divisions this season.
Following the recent announcement of the premier division fixture, which included Hillside, the remaining structure for the women’s competition was unveiled.
This season there will be premier division, division 1 and division 2, while for the first time there will be a reserves competition.
All round one matches in the women’s EDFL will kick off on Saturday April 13.
Burnside Heights is one of three teams returning in the division 1 competition along with Greenvale and Tullamarine.
Strathmore has been relegated from premier division and Airport West promoted from division 2, while Keilor Park returns to the women’s competition for the first time since the pandemic.
In round one, there will be a rematch of the second semi final between Greenvale and Burnside Heights where the Jets narrowly defeated the Bears in a thriller, although this time it will be played at Greenvale’s home ground.
Another notable fixture in this division is the ANZAC Day clash between Tullamarine and Keilor Park, the stand alone match in this division on the public holiday.
There are a number of interesting match ups in division 2 as four of the eight teams in the competition will be new additions this season.
Glenroy, Roxburgh Park, East Sunbury and Taylors Lakes will all be hoping to make their mark as new teams in division 2.
The Sunbury Kangaroos, Sunbury Lions, Pascoe Vale and Coburg Districts make up the rest of that competition.
Hillside will field a reserves side in the new division. It’ll be the first time the Sharks have had a reserves side.
They will have a bye in the first week.
Essendon Doutta Stars, Oak Park, Aberfeldie, Westmeadows and Moonee Valley make up the rest of that competition.
