Traralgon and District Junior Football League enjoyed a fantastic two days at the 2019 Gumbuya World Cup junior interleague carnival.
Traralgon's under-14 team won four of its five game to reach the grand final against Warragul and District Junior Football League.

The Maroons started the decider brightly and led the undefeated Warragul team at quarter time, but were unable to hold on, eventually going down by 24 points.
Glengarry trio Rhyley Guiney, Cooper Brown and Kody Carnes and Southside's Cooper Millar were all prominent across the five games, while Fletcher Watts top-scored with six goals.
It was a tougher two days for the under-12 team, which lost all three games on day one - including a heartbreaker against Sale and District - but never gave up and they were rewarded with a well-earned win against Central Gippsland on day two.
Glengarry's Charlie Poulton was the team's leading goal-kicker with three while fellow Magpie Chelsea Sutton, West End's Zachary Bastin and TEDAS duo Kade Jennings and Melvey Podmore were among the standouts throughout the carnival.
