For lifelong local Paul Osland, or 'Oz' as he is affectionately known, Maitland Football Club is a club he was born into, and he hasn't left since.

Dear Players, Parents and Supporters, And so the season marches on. It started with the threats of drought and bushfires, then morphed into this horrible coronavirus, and if we hadn’t had our enthusiasm tested enough it hit us on the weekend with some horrific winds and freezing temperatures.
