At the annual meeting in Canberra the Australian National Football League accepted a Navy club application for affiliation, expanding the competition to six teams including M.C. Cadets 1 and 1, Fairbairn RAAF, School of Technical Training, Navy, and a pre war district club combination. The season starts mid May with details to follow. The report notes restrictions on opportunities for organising and the war’s impact, highlighting the Royal Military College team’s undefeated run under Captain Roy Leaper and the support of commandant Brigadier General J. Rather and Deputy Commander Colonel J. J Rather. The league’s Sports Gift Quest raised over £300, and the budget was balanced.
