WRFL

Netball

A new under-19 netball competition is in the works to fill a void left by changes to the Victorian Netball League. The Altona and Waverley District netball associations are driving the new league, with expressions of interest for the new competition being put out. There would be two conferences, one based at Altona and one at Waverley, with an overall winner crowned. Teams could come from VNL clubs, while local associations are also being sought to express their interest.

GDFL

Werribee Centrals came away with the points against North Geelong in the Geelong and District Football League on Saturday. The Centurions won every quarter in the, 13.15 (93)-9.5 (59) win. The Centurions sit sixth on the ladder.
