It was another huge weekend of local footy and our photographers were there to capture the action.

In the GFNL, St Mary’s had its best win of the year, inflicting just St Joseph’s’ second loss of the year in a 48-point win at Herne Hill Reserve.

Meanwhile, in the BFNL, Barwon Heads held onto fifth spot after a 55-point turnaround against Ocean Grove at Howard Harmer Oval.

And in the GDFNL, North Geelong ended East Geelong’s eight-game winning streak with a 17-point victory.

Magpies coach Peter Riccardi has taken his side from a bottom rung battler to a premiership contender in less than two years.
