Open letter to the Australian Gridiron Community

We have spent considerable time carefully evaluating the requirements of our affiliation with the national body and have taken this step to ensure the most appropriate outcome for our members.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas From Gridiron VictoriaWishing everyone a very safe and happy Christmas, enjoy the holiday season and best wishes for a prosperous new year.

2013 was another great year for Gridiron Victoria!

We had another incredible senior competition and an historic Monash Gridiron double with the division 2 champion in the Monash Barbarians and yet another Warriors Vic Bowl win over the Geelong Buccaneers at Moorabbin Oval.

We celebrated women’s sport with our inaugural Women’s season with three teams contesting a fantastic season culminating in the Western Foxes winning the first ever Women’s Vic Bowl.

Finally, a great juniors campaign with six teams battling it out as the Western Crusaders dominated all year long to win the Junior Vic Bowl.

Thank you to everyone who played, coached, officiated, provided sideline support and most importantly attended and supported Gridiron Victoria this past year.

See you in 2014 for our 30th birthday and what promises to be our biggest and best season yet.

Junior Season – Week One

The 2013 junior season has begun and with three opening round games that were close for the majority of the day, it’s set a precedent for a fantastic competition this season.

First up: the Monash Warriors defeated the 2012 Vic Bowl Champions the Croydon Rangers 28-20, in a tight contest.

In the middle game, the Western Crusaders defeated the Geelong Buccaneers 33-18 and in the final game of the day, the Berwick Miners edged out the Northern Raiders, 38-24.
