NSW State Football League

First Grade -- Season 1989

 

Season notes

The 1989 season was severely affected by adverse weather, with many matches postponed.

In early July 1989, the home and away season was revised from the original 21 rounds fixture list down to 14 completed rounds.

The home ground of Pennant Hills (known as Hills AFC 1987-1992) was renamed Ern Holmes Oval after this season.

The home ground of Campbelltown was known as Football Park, Macquarie Fields from 1989 until 1994 (and had previously been known under this name until 1984).
