It was another bumper weekend of Geelong footy and our photographers were there to capture all the action.

In the GFNL grand final rematch on Saturday, Leopold once again got the better of South Barwon, this time by 47 points at McDonald Reserve in a similar result to last season’s big dance.

Meanwhile, in the BFNL, Queenscliff banked arguably its best win for the season, beating a red hot Modewarre unit who had won its past four in a row, including three top five teams in consecutive weeks.

And in the GDFL, East Geelong won its 10th game in a row after the Eagles easily dispatched Belmont Lions by 35 points in a battle between one and two on the ladder.
