All four senior Essendon District Football League grand finals will be held at Windy Hill.

The EDFL announced last week that all three men’s division’s grand finals will be held at the home of the league, as they have for the past few years.

This year the women’s grand final will also be held at Windy Hill, in a massive boost for the competition.

Last year, the combined EDFL and Western Region Football League Women’s grand final was held at Greenvale Recreation Reserve.

The women’s grand final is the first of the four to be held this year and will be on Sunday, August 19, with the finals series to be contested by the top eight teams.

The division 1 grand final will be on Saturday, September 8.

The division 2 grand final will fall on Saturday, September 15, two weeks later than originally planned.

The grand final was expected to be played on the first weekend of September, but with the fixture changed because of Keilor Park’s withdrawal from the competition early in the season, it was pushed back to ensure an even competition.

The season will end on a high with the premier division grand final to be held on Sunday, September 16.
