2026 SEASON

REAL FOOTY. REAL RESULTS.

Penshurst West FC competes in the St George Football Association — one of Sydney’s longest-running community competitions. From Under 6s to seniors, here’s everything you need to know about how it all works.

HOW IT WORKS

The 2026 Season

PWFC competes in the Football St George Association (SGFA) winter competition each year. The season runs from April through to August, with matches played on Saturday mornings at Olds Park and at opposition grounds across the Georges River area.

Teams are split into three streams: non-competition (Under 6–11, focused on fun and development, no score recorded by the association), competition (Under 12 and above, with ladders, finals, and trophies), and Seniors for 18s and over.

Registrations open in February. Teams form in March with pre-season training kicking off before the April season start.
