The Sunbury Kangaroos are one of two teams that have dropped to Essendon District Football League women’s division 2 competition for the rest of the season.

The league made changes to both their division 1 and 2 competitions, following the completion of the first four rounds having looked at results.

The Kangaroos along with Pascoe Vale, which were in division 1, will now be in division 2 for the rest of the season.

Both teams were sitting 0-4 and forfeited their round four matches due to lack of numbers. Both teams suffered big losses in their first three matches.

The division 1 competition will now be a six team competition with no teams coming up to replace the two teams that have dropped down. The competition now consists of Greenvale, Gisborne, Essendon Doutta Stars, Burnside Heights, Sunbury Lions and Tullamarine.

Changes to the division 1 fixture start next week, with the Kangaroos and Pascoe Vale scheduled to face each other this weekend.

The division 2 competition will increase from seven teams to eight teams, with their no longer a bye.

While the Kangaroos and Pascoe Vale will be in that competition, Greenvale’s second side has officially withdrawn from the competition.

The Jets had forfeited all their matches, after not having enough numbers to fill a second side.

The other teams in the division 2 competition are Airport West, Coburg Districts, Moonee Valley (2), Westmeadows (2), Aberfeldie (2) and Maribyrnong Park (2).
