Parade College has again won through as premiers of the Associated Catholic Colleges (ACC)

and will be the top seed of the Senior Boys Division One age group.

Melbourne Girls Grammar won its place as the representative of Girls Sport Victoria (GSV) in the top age group and will be the top seed following last year’s dominant win over rival Caulfield Grammar School.

Excitement machine Chloe Williams, 16, was named best-on-ground as a bottom age player last year and will return to lead the MGG title quest in 2025.

Scotch College will represent the Associated Public Schools (APS) as the top seed in the

Intermediate Boys Division One age group, while fellow defending champions Rowville

Secondary College will represent School Sport Victoria (SSV) as the top seed in Intermediate
