Finals action: goals, goals and lamb rolls
WFNL and HDFNL finals bring out the best teams, clubs and region.
I know I said this last Monday, but what a weekend!
Grand finals sports were on the line for the Wimmera Football Netball League and the Horsham District Football Netball League across the weekend.
On Saturday, Noradjuha Quantong won through to the HDFNL football grand final, while Rupanyup won a thriller in the A Grade netball.
In the WFNL, defending premiers Ararat qualified for the grand final with a win over Southern Mallee Thunder on Saturday while Horsham Saints defeated Horsham Demons in the netball.
On Sunday, Stawell's quest to return to the big dance continued after defeating Nhill; however. it could not repeat the success on the netball court, with Dimboola dominating the Warriors.
Noradjuha Quantong will play Harrow Balmoral in the HDFNL football Grand Final on Saturday, September 14, in Stawell.
Meanwhile, the Panthers take on Laharum in the netball.
On Sunday, September 15, Southern Mallee Thunder look to bounce back against the resurgent Warriors, while the Roos are ready to take on the Demons at Murtoa.

Off the field, I have been trying my hardest to find the best roast lamb roll.
Edenhope set the bar with their combination of lamb and gravy or lamb and coleslaw. I went with the latter and was not disappointed.
I loved Pimpinio's roast roll, but my biggest regret over the weekend was not trying one in Natimuk. Unfortunately the action on the netball courts was too good to leave.
There's three more games of finals in the Wimmera, with Swifts hosting the HDFNL grand final, while Murtoa and Dimboola will be the place to be for WFNL finals action.
