Important Announcement: Proposed Name Change for WSJAFC
Proposed Name Change
To better reflect our position within the competition and align with our Senior Club, the committee proposes changing the club's name from Western Suburbs Junior Australian Football Club to Inner West Magpies Junior Australian Football Club.
Your Voice Matters
This decision isn't solely up to the Committee. We invite all members to attend a special meeting on Friday, November 15th at 6pm at the Magpie Sports Club to vote on the proposed name change.
Please come along to share your thoughts and help shape the future of our club.
Celebrating the 2024 Season
On Saturday 21 May, we celebrated the 2024 Season together with our Presentation Day at Wagener. We hope all our players had a blast kicking the footy around and playing on the jumping castle with their Wests mates.
Big congratulation to all for a great season and special recognition to our Club award winners.
Celebrating 25 years of Wests Juniors with Trivia
On Friday 31 May, we celebrated 25 years of West Juniors with a trivia night at Magpies Sports. The air was buzzing with community spirit and some serious trivia showdowns as we raised over $6K in funds for the Club.
Congratulations to our Trivia winners, Team “Sei it isn’t so.”
Happy Holidays
We hope you are enjoying the school holidays and weekend sleep-ins. A reminder 27 & 28 April will see the return of Junior AFL with Round 3.
Saturday 4 May will mark the return of Auskick! We look forward to seeing the youngest of our Junior Magpies taking the field for the first time in Season 2024. It’s not too late to join for the season. If you know any families looking for a winter sport, please encourage them to join a training night to give AFL a try.
