Round Five of the MGFNL saw the leagues two winless teams chalk up their first wins for the season with one of them, Stony Creek, causing what may well remain the upset of the year in their local derby (read grudge match) with MDU. And Boolarra too was finally able to sign their song after, for the first time this year, capitalising on their front half entries to kick a winning score over Morwell East. At the other end of the table the status quo remained with Fish Creek, Y

Mirboo North v Foster One of the leagues two undefeated teams, Foster, make the trek to Mirboo North this week for the Gippsland FM game of the round. Foster, pre their round four bye, knocked over Thorpdale by near on ten goals and with Thorpdale accounting for Mirboo North last week to the tune of ninety-seven points things appear pretty grim for the Mirboo North coach Damien Tuner and his teammates.

Round four of the MGFNL played out over the weekend with a real “moving day” feel to it. Some teams cemented their credentials as up and comers while others were left wondering “what if” in a round that saw plenty goals kicked and some rather large margins. Thorpdale v Mirboo North In terms of a statement result none came bigger than Thorpdale’s win over Mirboo North. The win itself was a great result for the home side however to run riot over Mirboo North to the tune of ni

After three completed rounds of the MGFNL the ladder makes for some interesting viewing. Whilst the points and therefore final positions will always be slightly askew until everyone has had a bye it is worth noting the league has only two winless teams and the same number of undefeated teams, and one of those undefeated sides could easily be one and one if not zero and two. So, what does all this mean? We have ourselves a mostly even competition that should throw up plenty

Tarwin V Yinnar A resolute Yinnar held on over a fast finishing Tarwin in the opening clash of the MGFNL ANZAC Day Split round action. Rolling out a line up that had several forced changes to their Rond Two match Yinnar headed to Shark Park with returning ruckman Jesse Bowe in her side and certainly took advantage of the big man’s handy work early. At the main break it was the visiting Pies who led by over five goals with their small forwards proving mightily hard to stop f

Round Three of the MGFNL season feels more like an AFL round than a local league round with games being played across multiple days and time slots. As luck would have it this will allow league partners, Gippsland FM, to broadcast two games over the weekend. Firstly, they will take in the all-important local derby that has Boolarra travel to Mirboo North for a Saturday twilight clash followed by the Sunday battle between Hill End and Fish Creek. Mirboo North v Boolarra. To

Fairer weather certainly resulted in some much higher scoring across the MGFNL on Saturday. And if anyone thought a tough round one battle would put the slows on the last years Grand finalists, they were horribly mistaken. Foster and Fish Creek combined for three hundred and fifty-one points (351) between in their respective clashes with Boolarra and Mirboo North. Hard to argue that the top two sides from last year won’t have a big say in this years’ finals series. Yinnar V

Short of Bohdi and the 50 year storm materialising in the Prom this weekend you’d have to assume we’ll be greeted by better conditions for Round Two of the MGFNL season that we saw in Round One. As if the Heavy 10 track conditions were not bad enough the wind that accompanied them led to only four clubs getting to “raise the bat” for putting a half century on the scoreboard. Hopefully we see a few more goals this week than last. Yinnar V MDU. And speaking of this week the Gi
