League president resigns
AFTER 17 years of dedicated service to the Warrnambool and District Football Netball League, including the past six years as president, Kylie Murphy has announced her decision to step down at the end of the 2025 season.
“It has been a privilege to serve in various roles over the past 17 years, with the last six years as president being particularly rewarding and educational,” Murphy said.
“My departure presents an opportunity for new leadership to guide the league forward in a positive direction for our entire community.”
Throughout her tenure, Murphy has played a pivotal role in strengthening the league’s foundations, fostering collaboration among clubs, and championing the growth of both football and netball across the region.
Her leadership has been marked by a commitment to inclusivity, development, and community spirit.
“I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all committee members I have had the pleasure of working with, our sponsors, each of the club presidents, and especially the current board members,” Murphy added.
“I look forward to seeing you at the remaining rounds and the finals. I wish every club ongoing success, and above all, continuing success for the league as a whole.”
The WDFNL Board will begin the process of appointing a new president in the coming months, with a formal transition planned to ensure continuity and support for the incoming leadership.
“We thank Kylie for her tireless dedication and the legacy she leaves behind,” vice-president Georgia Harrison said.
“Her leadership has set a strong foundation for the future of our league.”
