Time changes for prelims

Geelong’s AFL preliminary final against Brisbane at the MCG has prompted AFL Barwon to alter the starting times of this Saturday’s Geelong Football League preliminary finals.

With the Cats set to take on the Lions for a spot in the AFL grand final at 5.15pm on Saturday September 21, AFL Barwon has moved its games to an earlier time slot so that local footy fans can get home from West Oval in Geelong West in time to watch the Cats, or even head to the MCG to attend the game.

“In a bid to allow our community the opportunity to watch the Geelong Cats take on Brisbane in the AFL preliminary finals on Saturday afternoon, the football game times have been brought forward in the GFNL senior, reserves, and Under 18 matches,” AFL Barwon said.

“The change of game times is only relevant for football matches on Saturday the 21st of September, netball match times will remain unchanged.”

St Joseph’s will take on Torquay in the Under 18s from 8.45am, Joeys will meet South Barwon in the reserves from 10.45am and St Joseph’s and South Barwon clash in the seniors from 1pm.
