Fixture locked in for 2025 BFNL season

THE 2025 Bellarine Football Netball League fixture for 2025 has been locked in by AFL Barwon.

The local sporting body released the schedule for the coming season this evening (Thursday, December 19).

A mouth-watering clash between 2024 football grand finalists Torquay and Anglesea is set for ANZAC Day (April 25).

The two sides will face off for the first time on the public holiday and will join Drysdale and Portarlington in playing on the historic day.

Geelong Amateur will need to wait until Round 7 (May 24) to get its chance at knocking off back-to-back A Grade premiers Ocean Grove.

Ocean Grove defeated Geelong Amateur in this year’s decider by five points, following the Ammos going undefeated through the regular season.

 

There will be two league byes next year, falling on May 17 and May 18 and July 12 and July 13.

The 2025 BFNL season will be the second year of the promotion and relegation system.

In 2026, one side go up into the Geelong Football Netball League (GFNL) and one side come down to the BFNL. This will be at the discretion of the clubs.

The Surf Coast Suns will also join the BFNL in 2026.
