π SEASON UPDATE... BIGGER THAN WE EVER DREAMED! π¦ππ€
With a couple of weeks between games, we've had the chance to catch our breath and reflect on what has already been an incredible start to the 2026 AFL Masters NSW season.
The growth of the Roos Masters has exceeded all expectations.
π In 2025, we had just 7 registered players.
π In 2026, we're already at 26 registered players and still growing!
Even better, more than 40 Roos have pulled on the blue and white this season. If you haven't registered yet, there's still time to jump on board!
So far we've shared the field with:
π Balmain AFC Masters
π Hornsby Berowra Eagles AFL Club
π Macarthur Wombats - Footy for Fun
π NorthWest Sydney Redbacks AFL Masters
We've also had Roos representing at other AFL Masters events, including our Over 50s playing with Sydney AFL Masters and the ANZAC Day game.
Other highlights include:
β
Our first Intraclub Match after 2 years
β
Players connected across our local football community, including Blue Mountains Kangaroos/Mountain Lions JAFL Club, Penrith Giants, Hawkesbury Saints JAFC, Penrith Rams and Hawkesbury Jets AFC
β
Continued growth of our club culture both on and off the field
A huge thank you to our sponsors who help make it all possible:
π Brew Mountains Brewery
π Sarah Thompson Agent Blue
π FreeStyle Barber Shop
π The Right Coordination
π Life First Aid Courses
πTJ Printworks
Their support allows us to introduce initiatives like The Joey Club, provide new training shirts, and continue building a stronger football community in the Blue Mountains.
π΅ What's still to come?
π Return matches with our AFL Masters mates
π More Intraclub games, including the Blue Mountains Round Up (details coming soon!)
π Mini carnivals
π The AFL Masters National Carnival in Newcastle
π More banter, more friendships and more fun
At the heart of Roos Masters are two simple ideas:
π Footy for Fun
π Footy for All
Whether you're a former player, current player, complete beginner, or just want to come down and watch, it's never too late to get involved.
One Club. One Community.
See you all soon.
