On a sad note, this week a long time stalwart of local country football, including the NWFA, NTFL, and Leven Football Association, Mr Phil King passed away. Phil had been actively involved in numerous capacities within these organisations such as secretary, committee member, club member, board member, and as an umpire for many years.
It is always hard to get people like Phil who devote so much time to so many clubs and associations, and he will be sadly missed by many people. Phil was very helpful in the establishment of this NWFA website, and his assistance is appreciated by all concerned.
"On behalf of the North Western Football Association, we extend sincere condolences to Philip's family. We thank him for his dedication to the NWFA and for the tremendous contribution he made over a number of years."
