Club History and Development

Joining AFL Sydney

Wollondilly joined AFL Sydney in 2014 after previously competing in AFL South Coast. The Knights reached the Division Four Grand Final in their first season in the competition, establishing themselves as a competitive addition to the league. Daniel Hockey also won the Armstrong Medal as Division Four’s best and fairest that year.

Community Involvement and Junior Connections

The Knights contribute to their local community through activities beyond match-day competition. In 2025, the club hosted a Big Freeze community round at Hannaford Oval to raise funds and awareness for FightMND. Players, families and supporters took part, with an Ice Bucket Challenge among the day’s activities. The club also provides a senior destination for local junior footballers. Players progressed from Wollondilly Junior Australian Football Club into the Knights’ senior ranks in 2026, continuing their football within the Wollondilly community.

AFL Sydney and the Sydney Football League

Wollondilly’s football program forms part of AFL Sydney’s community competitions. From April 2027, AFL Sydney will operate alongside the new Sydney Football League, which will provide the state’s premier-level competition. AFL Sydney will continue to offer men’s and women’s divisional football, underage competitions and Masters, supporting participation across different playing standards, ages and levels of commitment.
