MLeague is back for its biggest season yet!

The elite Men’s and Mixed competition held at the State Netball and Hockey Centre commences on Wednesday August 28.

This year we broke a record with the most number of team entries ever (an incredible 37!).

For the first time our Premier Men’s division will field 8 teams, and with an influx of new players and teams, both up from Division 1 and who have moved to Melbourne recently, it’s set to be an enthralling season.
