Eyes on the prize

It’s Bellarine Football Netball League grand final weekend.

A full day of sport is on the agenda at Leopold Memorial Park on Saturday September 7 with 12 netball and three footy grand finals.

Five footy and eight netball clubs will be represented during Saturday’s season climax.

Geelong Amateur will take on Ocean Grove in the A Grade netball and Surf Coast rivals Anglesea and Torquay meet in the senior footy.

Pictured are James Carr (Anglesea), James Darke (Torquay), Keisha Guilmartin (Geelong Amateur) and Emily Moroney (Ocean Grove) with their respective Dow Cups.

The netball action start from 8am and the footy kicks off with the Under 18 Division 2 grand final at 9.15am.

The weather forecast is looking promising with a top temperature of 19 degrees, but little to no rain, and most importantly, none of the wild winds that have hit the region this week.

See Friday’s Independent for all the grand final fever opinions, pics and schedules.
