On Sunday 25th September, 11 of our Division Champions from the Eastern Suburbs Football Association competed in Round One of the Champion of Champions tournament. We are incredibly proud of all teams that competed, particularly those that will progress to Round Two. We had five wins in 11 games, plus three teams with a bye who’ll head straight into Round Two in two weeks.
Commencing in 1968, the Champion of Champions tournament is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the footballing calendar, with champions (after having met Association eligibility criteria) from each association pitted against each other in a battle for supremacy. This year sees the return of the prestigious competition for the first time since the 2019 season, having been otherwise interrupted by covid.
