GNFL Sponsorship 2009 

The Great Northern Football League welcomed Oakajee Port and Rail‘s decision to continue as a major sponsor of the League and the 2009 Country Week Championships.

The partnership, which was originally facilitated by Fremantle Football Club as part of its ongoing support to football in the mid-west, builds on OPR’s sponsorship of the Fremantle Football Club.

At the GNFL season launch on 23 April 2009 in Geraldton, Mr Paul Kosovich, League President, said “The GNFL welcomes OPR’s continuation as a major sponsor of the League and their commitment in the sponsorship is indicative of OPR’s desire to become part of the mid-west community”.

The Mullewa Football Club hosted the OPR Family Fun Day on Saturday 27 June 2009.  

Fremantle Football Club’s community development staff joined stars from the Mullewa Saints team to conduct a football skills clinic for children of all ages .

A free BBQ followed and everyone was invited to watch the Fremantle Dockers–Collingwood match at the MCG on a big screen in the club house.

OPR’s Manager Community and Public Relations, Kim Pervan, said OPR’s support for the family fun day, as well as sponsorship of the Fremantle Football Club and the GNFL signifies the company’s commitment to the broader mid-west community.

Fremantle Football Club’s Strategic Partnerships Manager Roger Cripps acknowledged the contribution of the Mullewa Football Club at the family fun day.

“I would like to thank Michael Wall and his team at the Mullewa Football Club for putting on a day for the community, and Oakajee Port and Rail for their wonderful support.

“The Fremantle Football Club want to help towns like Mullewa provid the opportunity to stage a day like this”, he added.
