The WJ Findlay Oval, Wangaratta has been selected as the preferred venue, taking representative football and netball back to the Wangaratta region for the first time since 2014.
The O&M Board are also delighted to confirm the appointment of former Myrtleford coach Jake Sharp as head coach of the Senior team, who is taking over from Damian Sexton after his decision to step down after a successful three years in the role.
Corowa Rutherglen’s Ben Talarico will once again take the helm of the Under 18’s team, whilst Jodie House resumes the 17 and Under netball head coaching position.
A further announcement regarding the O&M Interleague Open and 15 & Under netball coaching appointments will follow once finalised.
“We are excited to take Interleague football and netball back to Wangaratta for the first time in over a decade and can’t wait to see Jake Sharp put his stamp on the senior squad,” OMFNL chair David Sinclair said.
“Jake was a valuable assistant to Damian Sexton for last year’s fixture and combined with his impressive resume from his time with Werribee in the VFL, and also his previous coaching experience with Myrtleford, he was a standout choice to take on the role.
“On behalf of the O&M Board and all league supporters, I’d also like to take the opportunity to thank Damian Sexton for his enormous contribution to the Interleague program over the past three years.
“We look forward to taking on the GVL in May to win back the Ash-Wilson Trophy for the third time in four attempts.”
