Keep Community in the Game – Support MFNC's Future in the MCDFNL


Keep Community in the Game – Support MFNC's Future in the MCDFNL
The issue
The Maryborough Football Netball Club (MFNC) has been a cornerstone of our community since 1872, fostering connection, teamwork, and belonging for players, volunteers, and families. It’s where our children learn important values, where families come together, and where local traditions are celebrated. For many, MFNC represents far more than weekend games — it is a vital community hub.
MFNC is seeking entry to the 2026 season of the Maryborough Castlemaine District Football Netball League (MCDFNL). This process will determine the club’s ability to continue its programs for over 70 junior footballers, who rely on MFNC for development both on and off the field.
The club plays a crucial role in promoting community engagement, physical activity, and youth well-being. In a town like Maryborough, institutions such as MFNC help maintain community spirit and provide young people with constructive opportunities.
Our goal is to ensure MFNC can continue its long-standing tradition of nurturing talent and serving as a hub for the community. By showing support, we can help demonstrate the positive impact of MFNC and encourage its continued participation in the League.
We invite everyone who values community, sport, and tradition to add their name to this petition. Your support will help keep MFNC at the heart of Maryborough for generations to come. Together, we can make a difference.
