2025 State of Origin Wrap-Up

What an incredible day at Melrose Park on Saturday – and what a community effort!

To the coaches – Shankar, Matt, Adam, Justin, Tom & Matt – thank you for volunteering your time and expertise. Without you, we simply wouldn’t have had the teams we did out on the park, and those two thrilling games of football wouldn’t have been possible.

To the players – thank you for trusting coaches who may not have been your usual mentors, stepping up to play alongside in-season rivals, and in some cases even lining up against your own teammates. You embraced the spirit of the event, put on a fantastic display of football, and most importantly – we hope you had fun!

To the AWSRA referees – a huge thank you for donating your match fees and being part of the day to ensure the games were run at the highest level.

To Melrose FC, Josh & Bec – thank you for being our 2025 hosts. The park looked amazing, and the atmosphere was absolutely buzzing!

To AIS – thank you for livestreaming the games and allowing those who couldn’t make it to still be part of the action.

To Paige from Game Time Glimpse – thanks for capturing the magic of the day with photos we’ll cherish.

To Meat Talk, Photography, and Lita Barrott – your generous raffle prize donations were incredible. And to our raffle crew, who worked tirelessly for weeks at MiniRoos and again on game day – together you raised over $4,000!

To Premier Building & Construction for their very generous sponsorship of the 2025 and 2026 State of Origin Kits!

To the clubs – Albury United, Wodonga Heart, Albury Hotspurs, Wodonga Diamonds, St Pats & Melrose – your donations were instrumental in this year’s fundraising. Hopefully, all clubs can get behind this event again in 2026.

Finally, to the entire AWFA community – thank you. We are so lucky to be surrounded by people who rally behind a good cause and give so generously of their time, energy, and support. This event simply couldn’t happen without you.

And now for the big news… together, we didn’t just beat last year’s total of $5400, we smashed it and went beyond our 2025 goal. This year’s State of Origin raised an incredible $10,266 for the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre!

What a day. What a community. What a result.

Thank You for Making AWFA’s First Female Football Week a Success!

Our very first Female Football Week celebration was a fantastic success — all thanks to the incredible support from our football community!

This special event brought all female teams from U13s to Division 1 Women together at one venue, on one day, representing every AWFA club. It was a powerful display of unity, community spirit, and passion for the women’s game — and one we’ll remember for a long time.

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the amazing local businesses who supported the day and brought extra colour, energy, and atmosphere:

• Recovery Lab Wodonga

• Boost Juice

• Barefoot Barista

• Facepainting by Chelsea

• Elite Supps Albury

Your involvement helped make the day extra special for players, families, and fans alike.

A huge thank you as well to the clubs who helped set up, decorate, and ensure everything ran smoothly, and to Albury City FC for running the canteen. This day was truly a community effort and a shining example of what can be achieved when we come together to celebrate and grow the women’s game.

From the early morning kickoffs to the final whistle, the day was full of energy, pride, and shared purpose. Whether you were playing, coaching, officiating, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines — we couldn’t have done it without you.

We’re incredibly proud to have hosted this event for the first time and can’t wait to make Female Football Week an annual highlight in the AWFA calendar.
