Association president Lindsay Sheedy said they wanted to make spectating more comfortable for the many families who come along to support the 48 teams.
"This funding is a huge contribution for us and will go a long way towards purchasing this seating," she said.
"By improving the spectator facilities, we hope this encourage even more families to come along each weekend and support their kids.
"This funding by Greater Bank will not only help greatly with the purchase of the seating but also lighten the load on wonderful group of volunteers who work tirelessly, particularly fundraising, for the club."
Gunnedah Combined Catholic P&F was one of the runner-ups and will receive a $1000 grant.
