GVFL Coverage
Other leagues throughout the state are envious of the coverage the Gotafe Goulburn Valley Football League and Netball League receive from the area’s media.
GVFL general manger, Keith Wellman, is often asked about the media coverage the netballers and footballers receive, and it doesn’t end there.
All district leagues based on Shepparton enjoy outstanding coverage from the Shepparton News and its subsidiary papers from the Riverine Herald at Echuca in the north to Mansfield Courier in the south.
In between there is the Kyabram Free Press, the Tatura Guardian, Campaspe Valley News at Rochester, Benalla Ensign and the Seymour Telegraph.
And then there are WIN TV, 95.3 3SR, ONE FM 98.5, the ABC, Facebook and YouTube who keep fans up to date with the latest happenings and action within the league.
As one of Australia’s leading country leagues it is deserving of in depth coverage because it is a $6 million industry when the 12 clubs turnover is taken into account along with that of the football and netball leagues.
Award winning journalists write stories and comments about the leagues and the people on the GVFL Board are most appreciative of their efforts, if they don’t always agree.
Without wishing to single anyone person out in particular, Kyabram Free Press legend Gus Underwood must be mention because of the fact he has clocked up more than 50 years as a player, coach, commentator and newspaper reporter, spreading the gospel of the GVFL.
Here’s the line-up for the season.
Real Deal GV Footy Show with award winning radio commentator and GVFL Board member, David Fox, and other award winners JR Ryan, Nipper Harvey and Mario de Santa Ana for down loading from Thursday morning.
Gotafe Goulburn Valley Football and Netball leagues show on ONE FM 98.5 on Saturday morning from 8am to 9.30 with Jacqui Hudgson, Kyle Power, Paul Tricarico, Jason Welsh and Noel Hussey.
