2024 Thirds Men’s Section Structures & Fixtures
The Round 1 fixtures have been released for every 2024 Thirds Men’s section.
The 2024 Thirds Men’s Competition will be structured as follows: Premier Thirds Men’s (6), Thirds Division 1 Men’s (6), Thirds Division 2 Men’s (7), Thirds Division 3 Men’s North (8), Thirds Division 3 Men’s South (8), Thirds Division 4 Men’s North (10), Thirds Division 4 Men’s South (10).
The Thirds Men’s competition will reflect a new structure this year, with the lower Divisions split into North and South competitions. The focus on locality will hopefully reduce the burden on volunteers and reduce the number of forfeits seen in the Men’s Thirds.
The 2024 VAFA Thirds Men’s season commences on Saturday, April 6.
