Kyneton Football Netball Club remains committed to female football in 2025 despite the departure of much of their women’s side.
As reported by Star Weekly, a new club, the Kyneton Women’s Football Club, has been established with the core group having been part of the Tigers side.
All but one of the new club’s signings have come from the Tigers so far including majority of the sides key players.
In a statement on social media, the KFNC said they were dealing with issues arising from the establishment of the new club.
“Our club remains committed to women’s football and intends to again field junior girls, youth girls and senior women’s teams in season 2025,” the statement said.
“It’s important that our young women can continue to play and be supported at our club where football is the focus.
“Our club has been a pioneer in supporting women’s football in the region and this will be our 10th year of doing so.”
The club said it wouldn’t comment at this stage.
The Tigers women’s side has played in the Riddell District Football League competition the past two years, making the grand final on both occasions.
The club’s youth girls made the grand final in 2024 and the preliminary final the season before.
KFNC is set to be the only Kyneton team to field youth and junior girls sides this year, with the new club only focusing on senior football.
In the Tigers statement it encouraged people who wanted to get on board in the women’s department and wanted to help drive the women’s football program to get in touch.
