This year’s Bellarine Football Netball League grand finals will be held by a non-BFNL venue for the first time.
Leopold Memorial Reserve will host the preliminary finals and grand finals with AFL Barwon saying the “success of the 2023 Geelong Football Netball League Finals being held at Leopold provides a blueprint for an outstanding spectacle in 2024”.
Portarlington Recreation Reserve will continue to host the first two weeks of the BFNL finals.
This year’s selection process for hosting venues was carried out by the AFL Barwon staff and commission. All AFL Barwon clubs were invited to express their interest in hosting.
The Geelong Football Netball League grand finals will be at GMHBA Stadium and the Kardinia Park Netball Complex.
“AFL Barwon is enthused by the on-court and on-field action that has transpired so far in 2024, and the finals series is shaping up to be exceptional, thanks to the generous and committed support of affiliated Clubs, in hosting Geelong FNL, Bellarine FNL, junior male (TBA), female football finals and All Abilities FNL finals,” AFL Barwon Regional general manager Edward Wilson said.
“These finals promote local clubs and the communities in which they represent, and we encourage all members of the community to be part of these celebrations, in concluding the 2024 football and netball seasons.”
