With Lockdown in Metropolitan Melbourne extended by 7 days, the Ballarat Football & Netball League have made the decision to cancel the remaining two rounds of the home and away season and move into finals – due to commence on Saturday August 28.
With the Bacchus Marsh matches in Round 11 meaning we had now played each team once this season, the ladder is as ‘fair’ as it could be in a disrupted year with everybody playing each other once.
Five teams are heading towards finals – senior, reserves and Under 19 footballers, and the D Grade and E Grade netballers. Unfortunately the season has drawn to an end for our A, B and C Grade netballers, and the BFL Women’s team.
At this stage, the proposed football finals schedule is:
Seniors – Qualifying Final vs North Ballarat, Saturday 28 August at City Oval
Reserves – Elimination Final vs Sunbury, Sunday 29 August at Eastern Oval
Under 19 – Elimination Final v North Ballarat, Saturday 28 August at Eastern Oval
