Morwell Recreation Reserve will play host to the biggest day on the local football and netball calendar,
following confirmation of this year’s TRFM Gippsland League finals series venues.
The league’s showpiece event returns to Morwell for the first time since 2014, with recent upgrades to the
reserve, including the development of two new netball courts and surrounding facilities, combined with
some of the region’s best football facilities and a central location underlining its status as a primary venue.
Moe’s Ted Summerton Reserve – the venue for the past two TRFM Gippsland League deciders – has
been assigned this year’s preliminary final.

Warragul’s Western Park and Maffra Recreation Reserve are also in line to host a final for the first time
since 2011, with the allocation of the qualifying and first semi-final respectively.
Another highlight of the schedule is the inclusion of a night final, with the second semi-final set to take
place under lights at Traralgon Recreation Reserve. League operations manager Daniel Heathcote said the night final was a terrific opportunity to showcase the competition to a wide audience. “With a heavy local schedule on the day including the Mid Gippsland Football League grand final at Morwell and the North Gippsland Football Netball League preliminary final at Churchill, providing an opportunity for standalone senior and A Grade matches stands to benefit all leagues,” Heathcote said. The starting times and schedule for second semi-final football and netball matches will be confirmed at a later date.
The league has also listed backup grounds for selected finals in case of any issues with the facilities or
senior match clashes.
