ABC | A group of Victorian women's football players now have a path to play in 2026, ending a 15-month saga since they defected from their former side.

The women who left the Kyneton Football Netball Club in 2024 had been blocked from joining a league as the Kyneton Women's Football Club. 

Today the Riddell District Football Netball League (RDFNL) confirmed it would not appeal the players' application to join the Central Victorian Football League (CVFL) under a new name, the Wedge-Tailed Eagles Football Club.

The RDFNL had previously appealed the move due to the club's use of Kyneton in its name.

It also acknowledged the club's nomination of Woodend Racecourse Reserve as a home venue.

Natalie Korinfsky, Wedge-Tailed Eagles club president, said the overwhelming feeling for players was relief.
