The VAFA has released the fixture for the 2023 William Buck Premier Men’s season, with the action to begin on Saturday, April 15 and a number of key matches to look forward to.
The newly promoted Old Haileybury and University Blacks will both open their campaigns at home, against St Kevin’s and Old Brighton respectively.
Round two will feature a range of significant games with the traditional ANZAC Day Round clash between Old Scotch and Collegians at Camberwell Sports Ground.
The second round of the season will also showcase the clash of the Universities with University Blues and University Blacks playing off, while St Kevin’s will unfurl their premiership flag as they host Caulfield.
The Grand Final rematch will come in Round six with St Kevin’s welcoming Old Brighton to TH King with Round 12 to host the return game at Brighton Beach Oval.
With Toorak Park out of action due to its redevelopment, Old Xaverians will play the majority of their home games at Xavier College in 2023, with five games scheduled at the school and the remaining four currently listed as TBC.

The planned release today of the William Buck Premier Women’s fixture has been delayed. The VAFA is taking some additional time to explore all options regarding the final section structure of William Buck Premier Women’s to ensure all clubs are able to field a Seniors and Reserves team consistently on a weekly basis. Ensuring that there are no forfeits or additional byes in season 2023 is a top priority for all concerned.
The following fixture is subject to change. View the up-to-date fixture on GameDay.
