Some memories from Round 2. To all our mums out there, have a wonderful Mother's Day tomorrow.

Watch that movie (Mrs Harris goes to Paris), spend that time, create the memories......and remember, with love 💖 ... See MoreSee Less

This year has been harder than others to get things together….oops this was typed in 2024, but it is applicable to 2025 as well.

Somethings times things just don’t go to plan; as relates to ERJSA or otherwise. Yet it has again been a pleasure to be surrounded by a group of amazingly supportive club presidents and committee members. Thank you all for stepping in and getting things done, especially Jon and Craig at Montagu Bay, Aaron at Howrah, and Drew at Cambridge.

In repetition of last year, the way we respond to challenges makes a huge difference, thank you for getting it done.

We’d also like to thank all the coaches for stepping up or simply not saying no to ensure the kids get to play. All clubs are volunteer models and without coaches, none of this happens.

Perfect weather for a first round, please enjoy some shots of the day. We gave Clare the weekend off, so Matt is to blame if the shots haven’t turned out. As always, we do this for the fun of it, hope that it brings some joy to you all, and to those who can’t get to games.

We can’t always get to all the teams, so it's always who is there on the day, and this year we have more teams than ever before, but we will do our best and also attempt to get to Sorell sometime this year too.

The photos are yours, no need to credit any shots, and if you want any removed, message us the link to the photo, and it will be taken down.

We hope you had a wonderful first round and we look forward to seeing you all again next week. ... See MoreSee Less

Careful and Calm.

This is how we would like you to think of tomorrow. We find ourselves again with an opening round on the same day as an election. This being the case there will be more traffic than usual so please plan ahead and arrive early at your grounds.

Two of our grounds are also polling places so please consider how and where you park while watching for pedestrians.

Remember to also grab a democracy sausage along the way.

Please enjoy a few shots from tonight. A great start to the season. ... See MoreSee Less

Ground Markings and Important Safety Information

Attached are the ground markings for 2025. Some locations won't have ground numbers this year and we haven’t had a chance to visit and double check all locations. But follow these maps and you won’t go wrong.

Important reminders

There should ALWAYS be 1m free space around grounds. Every year, our poor players have spectators and sometimes even their own bench get in the way of games. Some of the grounds are close together - deliberately so for reasons that are beyond the scope of this post. But what this means is that you are not able to spread blankets out or place chairs BETWEEN grounds. At the ends of grounds, and around the outer grounds there is plenty of space, so please be considerate of the players and coaches on game day and position yourself accordingly.

All parents, club officials, and any others who comes along to watch games must abide by the code of conduct. Details can be found here erjsa.com/parent-information

If any request is made of you by a club coach, official, or region representative, please follow it without comment or complaint. We have mandatory reporting requirements relating to child safety and the terms of conditions of our ground hire and insurance are non-negotiable.

Please be mindful of your parking and resist the urge to turn streets in one way affairs - especially around Edgeworth. There is plenty of parking within a short distance and a short walk never hurt anyone.

Parking for GB No. 2 is at the top near the Lindisfarne North School. Please observe the signs placed out on DeBomford Lane. ... See MoreSee Less

First games start for some U12 teams this Friday night with everyone else on Saturday!

Ground numbers (maps) will be posted soon so keep watching this page tomorrow as we are just awaiting a couple of final checks before posting.

As with every year, please don't make this about yourself or any other irrelevant opinion. Our hire agreements, insurance, and duty of care require that certain terms and conditions are met, else we simply won't be able to play.

So please take responsibility for your own actions and those of anyone else you know or invite along to watch games.

No dogs (or animals of any sort, sheep, llamas, etc. yes these are real past examples) should be on the grassy area.

Please also remember grounds are no smoking environments and that if you are just outside the area, wind direction does matter. ... See MoreSee Less
