EDFL 2018 GRAND FINAL REVIEW
Congratulations to Nyora – the 2018 EDFL premiers. And commiserations to Longwarry who were gallant in defeat. It was the Saints first premiership since 2007. Nyora the minor premiers won by four points in a low scoring game that - incredibly only yielded five goals on a day when intermittent showers made skilful football very difficult.
more
EDFL GRAND FINAL DAY PREVIEW
Nyora and Longwarry will meet in the 2018 EDFL Grand Final this Saturday at Western Park Warragul. The Saints were minor premiers and justifiably enter as the team to beat as it has rose to the occasion in every big match they have faced this season. It has beat the Crows all three times they have met this year.

With the arrival of round 15 this Saturday we enter the final month of the home and away season.
The match of the day will pit ladders leaders and this seasons big improvers Nyora against the inform and second placed Longwarry. Both have been stand outs this season and many good judges believe this game could be a dress rehearsal of the 2018 grand final.
more

The most important and absorbing match of Round 14 will be at Western Park when the Dusties meet ladder leaders Nyora. If the home side loses it will most likely be displaced in third spot on the ladder by Catani.

more
MID SEASON REVIEW
At the half way mark of the season – statistically eight teams can still make the top five while six clubs are well in the race to make the top three and secure a vital double chance come finals time.
It all points to an enthralling second half of the season that will see a number of ‘eight point’ games.
more
LOW NUMBERS AT JUNIOR LEVEL - WHY?
We ran a similar editorial last season and it produced a lot of feedback so here is an updated version.

A third of the way into the 2018 home and away season and Nyora have proved to be the big surprise packets. It currently sits top of the table and well placed to play finals - two games clear of perennial finalist the Warragul Industrials. Only two games separate second from eighth on the ladder which will produce plenty of interest over the next three months.
