Leopold is also in the reserves grand final and will meet St Mary’s.

In the A Grade netball, Colac fans will make the trek to Geelong to cheer on their side as they take on Newtown & Chilwell.

St Mary’s and St Joseph’s play in the B Grade game, South Barwon and Geelong West Giants in C Grade, Newtown & Chilwell and South Barwon in D Grade and St Mary’s play Newtown & Chilwell in E Grade.

The weather forecast is for a dry day with light winds and a top temperature of 19 degrees.
