Due to the restructure of Football NSW,The SAFL and its affiliate The ICFA (Inner City Football Association) are now part of the Canterbury District Association.

FNSW canteen and Parking for Parklea.
You are all advised that under NO circumstance are clubs to bring esky’s
containing beer etc to the Parklea ground. Football NSW informs me that
any person bringing esky’s to the ground will be asked to remove them
immediately. Food and refreshments will be available from the FNSW canteen.
Parking: There is plenty of parking at the ground, however there will be
other associations using the grounds whilst we are there. I suggest car
pooling as not only as a means to reduce the possible parking problems but
to alleviate the possibility of people getting lost and clubs requiring
to ask for time prior to the stated kick off times.
