Once again your one-stop shop for all things football and netball as the respective seasons of your favourite teams get set to eventually launch, this magazine will provide you with all you need to know about your side — and its opposition.
Long-time fans of the publication will note a change in the feel and look of this edition, most notably in combining the football and netball stories of clubs in Murray Football Netball League, Kyabram District League and Picola District Football Netball League.
Also joining the ranks for the first time this year is the Northern Country Women’s League, sliding in alongside Shepparton District Junior Football League, Shepparton Netball Association and Goulburn Valley Football Umpires Association.

An update on those familiar faces tackling the biggest stage of all in the AFL and AFLW is back again, as is a chat with NAB League outfit Murray Bushrangers for an idea of who might be next in line to make the leap to the top level.
And of course, the Goulburn Valley League in all its glory will kick off your reading.
In the days leading up to the printing of this magazine the COVID-19 — or coronavirus — pandemic really took hold, forcing all the leagues in the coverage area to postpone operations until at least May and likely longer.
The decision was made to still go ahead with this publication — sans fixtures — in the hope of providing a ray of sunshine amid the dark uncertainty of these unprecedented times.
For up-to-date information, head to benallaensign.com.au but for an escape from the reality of the coronavirus outbreak, go ahead and dive right in to the magazine.
