A BFNL reigning premier reasserted its authority, a GFNL mid-table team let a golden opportunity slip to take a big scalp and two siblings combined for 12 majors in a 76-point destruction in the GDFL.

At McCartney Oval, Torquay beat Anglesea by three straight kicks after a decisive third term, Leopold got the better of Geelong West by 13 points after trailing by four goals at half time at West Oval Reserve and Belmont Lions continued their fantastic season with a massive win over Corio at Shell Reserve.

There was plenty happening in Geelong and Bellarine footy over the weekend and our photographers were there to capture the action.
