It was pleasing to note that the coverage was much better in 2009 than previous seasons due to the amount of new match officials who completed courses and commenced their officiating in the lower age groups of the Westpac Junior Premier League.

Clubs also took it upon themselves to schedule fixtures midweek particularly on Friday nights to minimise ground usage and to provide a different atmosphere enabling club facilities including canteens and clubrooms to be used more than only on weekends.

Football Federation SA would like to thank Westpac, Top Corner Sports and McDonald’s for their support of the Junior Premier League and look forward to working with our partners again in season 2010 to provide the best competition available for junior football in South Australia.
