AFL Hunter Central Coast mourns the loss of Roosters players

AFL Hunter Central Coast is shocked and saddened by the bus tragedy in the Hunter Valley and the loss the community has suffered. We send our deepest condolences to all those affected in the accident, especially those from the Singleton Roosters.

As a mark of respect, all matches across AFL Hunter Central Coast Seniors will be cancelled and all Juniors postponed this weekend (17-18 June). The postponed round of Junior matches will be rescheduled during the wet weather round (Round 15, 13 August). Normal fixturing will resume on 24-25 June.

Additionally, AFL NSW/ACT, with support from clubs and administrators in AFL Hunter Central Coast and AFL South Coast, has decided to postpone the annual representative match between AFL Hunter Central Coast and AFL South Coast, which was scheduled for 1 July in Newcastle. Further consultation with clubs will be undertaken to determine a way forward for 2023 representative football.
