It is with regret that the Recreational Football summer competition in 2008 will not be running. A number of factors have contributed to this decision, with the current water shortage across the western region affecting so many sports grounds in the area, making it hard to secure a venue for the summer competition.
A review of the administration and implementation of the Rec Footy competition is being conducted by the LeasePlan Western Bulldogs, with a revamped competition to return in spring 2008, when the Whitten Oval is once again available.
