Perth Football League season kicking offThursday, June 18, 2020 - 1:05 PM

The Perth Football League has confirmed it will kick of its 2020 season on Saturday, July 4. 

With team nominations closing on Sunday June 14, more than 260 teams have been confirmed to take the field including 166 senior men's, 49 colts', 37 women's and 10 integrated teams.

Perth Football League general manager David Armstrong said it was encouraging that the number of teams had decreased by just three from last season, and that the number of women's teams had continued to grow with Canning Vale, Willetton, Swan Athletic, Ocean Ridge, Kalamunda, Collegians and Canning all entering sides for the first time.

“We’ve got a total of 37 women’s team this season, up from 25 last year, so that continues to grow which is really exciting,” he said.

All grades will start on July 4, other than men’s A-Grade which starts on July 11.

The A-Grade clubs agreed to start a week after the other grades, rather than have a mid-season bye, with the top four teams to qualify instead of five in previous seasons.

The A-Grade decider will be played as a stand-alone fixture on September 26 and the rest of the men’s grades will finish on September 19.
