Media Release | AFL Victoria advised the RDFNL yesterday (Tuesday 5th of September,2023) that the Transfer of Leagues request by Kyneton Football Netball Club to join the RDFNL had been approved.

Kyneton FNC Senior Football and Netball will now join their senior women, junior football and junior netball in the RDFNL competition for season 2024.

Kyneton FNC will add an exciting dimension to the senior competition.

RDFNL CEO Jordan Doyle said it was a positive move for the RDFNL.

"The RDFNL have been looking for a senior club to join the league for some time now and it is great that it has come to fruition with Kyneton FNC," Doyle said.

"Kyneton approached us some time ago and it has been a lengthy process to ensure all parties involved are happy with the move. These decisions need time and care as there is a lot of people affected and a lot of club history to consider."

Due to Kyneton FNC having already been accepted by the RDFNL clubs last season the move did not need to go to a vote, but the RDFNL was pleased to have the support of the senior clubs and their committees.

"We thank the RDFNL Senior Clubs for their support of this move and think that the KFNC will be a great fit for the RDFNL in 2024 and beyond."

The RDFNL staff and Board have found the KFNC Committee wonderful to deal with over the last 12 months with the inclusion of their Junior and Senior Women’s teams and can’t see the transition of their Senior Men’s and netball being any different.

The RDFNL are pleased to welcome the Kyneton FNC senior part of their club to the league on the eve of what promises to be another exciting weekend of senior finals action.

All preliminary finals will take place this Saturday at Romsey Park.
