The sport of Australian Rules football in Wollondilly has received a welcome boost under the NSW Local Sport Grants Program 2023/24, with our local Junior and Senior clubs both awarded grants. The Wollondilly Junior AFL Club has been successful in securing a grant of $5960 under this program for young player uniforms and club support. It is inspiring to see the youth of Wollondilly building their individual skills and capacities as well as working as a team to achieve their sporting goals. Wollondilly Knights Senior Australian Football League Club has been successful in securing a grant under the NSW Local Sport Grants Program 2023/24. This funding of $3300 will assist in building the profile of AFL in the Wollondilly area and support access to the sport during increased cost of living, through increased visibility and improved access. It was a pleasure to watch the Wollondilly Knights WD3 play the Newtown Breakaways WD3 at Hannaford Oval on Saturday, 4 May 2024. Ball skills, passion and immense dedication from both players and fans alike was on show. Wishing all the players best of luck for the upcoming AFL season.
