Round 1 - Combined Game
April 26, 2008

The GGAFL opened it's 7th season on Saturday April 26 in Concord.

League Details

Join the League

When a small group of Bay Area footy followers transformed the Santa Cruz 'Roos into the Golden Gate Australian Football League in early 2002, they had high hopes for the new league. The GGAFL enters its seventh season in 2008 with an expanded schedule, four solid clubs, and continued enthusiasm for the future.

But what keeps us going each year is new blood. If you're reading this, you already have an interest in Aussie Rules Football in the Bay Area. Why not follow through with a note to the league and let us know who you are. We welcome players of all levels of experience. Some of our best players today are locals who kicked a footy for the first time just a few years ago. Several transplanted Aussies are already part of the league as well. So if you're here from down under or here from birth, come have a run with us.

Whoever you are, we hope to see you at the footy.
