Lara will host the AFL Barwon women’s and girls footy grand finals this season.
AFL Barwon will use three ovals at Lara Recreation Reserve for the grand finals on Sunday August 25.
All AFL Barwon clubs were invited to express their interest in hosting, ensuring a diverse and inclusive selection, AFL Barwon said.
The earlier weeks of finals will see Belmont’s Winter Reserve and Victoria Park host week one with North Geelong’s Osborne Park and Mount Moriac Reserve to host the preliminary finals.
The junior grand finals will head to Osborne Park while the first two rounds of the finals will be played across Torquay’s Banyul-Warri Fields and McCartney Oval in week one and both ovals at Hamlyn Park for week two.
The Under 14 and Under 16 games will be spread across Saturdays and Sundays during the finals series.
“AFL Barwon are extremely grateful for the interest competitively expressed by several clubs to host the junior male, junior and senior female football finals in 2024,” AFL Barwon regional general manager Edward Wilson said.
“This finals series will be another showcase of the positive progression that all clubs and competitions alike are delivering for all boys and girls playing football within the Barwon region. An immense thank you to all host clubs for their delivery leadership during the upcoming finals series.”
