Good Friday fixture change for reigning premiers

AFL Barwon wishes to advise that, following an agreement between the two clubs, there will be a change to the Round 1 fixture. The match between Ocean Grove and Anglesea, originally scheduled for Saturday, 4 April, will now be played on Friday, 3 April (Good Friday).

Normal start times will apply to all football and netball games.

This opening-round contest is particularly notable, with Ocean Grove A Grade Netball and Anglesea Senior Football entering the season as reigning premiers. The rescheduled Good Friday match provides a fitting start to the 2026 season, celebrating last year’s champions while commencing another exciting year of football and netball.
