RDFNL to kick off on Good Friday

The Riddell District Football Netball League season will kick off on Good Friday with two big match ups.

The league announced the season would start with a split round, with two matches on Good Friday and the rest of round one the following weekend on 11 April.

Macedon will face Gisborne Giants in the first matchup of the season at Tony Clarke Reserve.

Kyneton will then host Woodend-Hesket underlights in the other match on Good Friday.

In round one matches on 11 April, Melton South will host Diggers Rest, Romsey is at home to Lancefield and Wallan will face Melton Centrals.

Riddell will start the season with a bye.

The Bombers will kick off their season in round two at Diggers Rest before the Puka Up Cup against Macedon on Anzac Day, which will also double as a football grand final rematch.

The Bombers will finally unveil their football premiership in round four against Lancefield.

Woodend-Hesket will unveil its A-grade netball premiership flag in round two against Wallan.

That round will also include the first Melton derby of the year between Melton South and Melton Centrals.

Diggers Rest, which usually plays on Anzac Day, is one of three teams to have a bye that weekend.

The first A-grade netball grand final match will come in round seven when the Hawks host the Bombers.

There are Pat Cronin and Fight MND rounds scheduled while all clubs will have a bye for the King’s Birthday weekend.

The final round of the season will be played on 15 August with a four week finals series to follow.
