Better signs from St Albans than in the previous rounds. But they will have to put in a four-quarter effort if they are to topple their next opponent in Newtown and Chilwell. For Leopold, it’s a battle of the big cats next Saturday when they take on Colac.

Lara vs Grovedale
Grovedale started off slow against Lara, but the Cats fell away and the Tigers took the win comfortably by 29 points. Lara’s inaccuracy in front of goal proved to be their undoing.
With more scoring opportunities than Grovedale, Lara will need to fix their scoring accuracy when they meet Geelong West at West Oval Reserve. For Grovedale, their next match is against St Joseph this coming Saturday.

Final Score

St Joseph’s vs South Barwon
The Anzac Day game was nothing short of an arm-wrestle between South Barwon and St Joseph’s. The Swans got the better of the Joeys in the second term, but a hardened St Joseph’s claimed victory in the end by 14 points.
The Joeys are hopping along nicely this season, their next opponent will be Grovedale at Burdoo Reserve. South Barwon, on the other hand, will face the reigning premiers St Mary’s.

OTHER CRITICAL FINALS INFORMATION
- CDFNL Grand Final will take place on Saturday 10th September 2022 at Central Reserve, Colac;
- GDFL Grand Final is on Saturday 10th September 2022, at St. Albans. The push-back of the GFNL Finals Series by one week, ensures that GDFL & GFNL leagues don’t share the same Grand Final date;
- To enable the push back in the GFNL finals series, the implementation of a bye/split round is under way for the weekend of Saturday 20th August 2022. Clubs will communicate and coordinate with their opposing club to ensure certain games can be scheduled as a ‘Round 19’ fixture. This will ensure no club/team has two weeks off in a row, leading into the Finals Series.
AFL Barwon is looking forward to the competitive, exciting and memorable Finals Series across all four leagues and thanks all community members, for their active participation and support of the 2022 seasons.
