A grand final rematch played out on Friday night, under lights at Galvin Park, with Caroline Springs easing past the reigning premiers Werribee Centrals by 84 points.
Nyomi Stowers and Alana Ellis starred for the Lakers and were named in the best, with the latter kicking four majors for the visiting side.

Wyndhamvale and West Footscray added another chapter to their rivalry, going head-to-head at Wyndhamvale South Reserve with the Falcons coming away the eventual victors in a hard-fought match.
