News

Our popular 2v2 and 3v3 leagues will be starting again next Friday February 4th.

While we are in the RED traffic light setting of the COVID Protection Framework, these sessions at Nairnville Turf will be Vaccine Pass events.

All players (12 years 3 months and older), volunteers and spectators who enter the turf should show their vaccine pass to an OJFC volunteer at the start of their session.

Please arrive and depart on time, so that we can be sure we keep within our attendance cap (100 people).

Entry is via Cockayne Road Rec Centre gate. Exit is via the playground end of Nairnville Turf.

• If you are unwell please stay home
• Spectators please maintain social distancing
• Please practice good hygiene protocols
• Remember no handshakes required – just a good old elbow bump or toe tap will suffice!

Thank you for your assistance to enable us to continue our fun and exciting leagues during these times of heavy restrictions.

COVID 19 UPDATE

By now you will be aware that all of New Zealand has moved to Alert Level 4, as at 23:59 17/08/21. As such the following restriction is now in place:

• All football-related activities, including team trainings are unable to go ahead at Alert Level 4.
• You can train at home or outdoor places, but only with those in your immediate bubble.

Accordingly Capital Football has announced:

• All JUNIOR (Grades U7 – U12) has been cancelled this weekend (this includes both Mixed and GOSL grades)
• All YOUTH (Grades U13 – U14/15) has been postponed this weekend (this includes both Mixed and GOSL grades)

Capital Football will make a decision on postponed Youth games at a later date – this will be dependent on grounds availability.

Furthermore and in line with Capital Football’s decisions above, OJFC First Kicks is also cancelled this weekend.

These decisions have been made with the best interests of the football community at heart and to provide certainty for all this weekend.
