2026 Grand final

After 15 rounds of football and three weekends of finals, the battle for Central Murray Football Netball League premiership success on the football field and netball courts comes down to today.

With this being the last notes for season 2026, the Kerang Football Netball Club would like to thank our valuable sponsors for their support, our passionate members for supporting our teams no matter the conditions, and all who wore the navy blue this year.

2ND PRELIMINARY FINAL SUCCESS

Thank you to all who helped make last Sunday’s 2nd Preliminary Final a success. Ideal conditions and a variety of teams competing saw Riverside Park hold its largest sporting event crowd in more than 20 years, with most of those in attendance staying to the end of the seniors, despite the rain falling during the last quarter.

HUGH’S THE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

Congratulations to this year’s G.K. Harrison Rookie of the Year, Hugh Bremner, who was recognised at the league’s awards night on 13 September.

Hugh was an integral part of our senior side throughout season 2026, playing 11 games and kicking six goals. Hugh was also named in our best players in six of these games.

As well as his efforts with the Blues, Hugh also played seven games with the Bendigo Pioneers’ Under 18s side, including their final against Tasmania.

BENDIGO PIONEERS TRAINING INVITES

The club also congratulates Oscar Greenwood (Under 18 boys), Madden Walker (Under 16 boys) and Laela Grayling (Under 16 girls, selected via Woorinen’s Bendigo Junior Football League side) on receiving invitations to participate in the 2027 Bendigo Pioneers training program. Oscar, Madden and Laela will spend the preseason working with the Pioneers and be in line to be selected for the side’s Talent League teams next year.

JAMISON – RITA PAY 19 & UNDER DISTINCTION NOMINEE

A huge congratulations to Jamison Wise, who was also recognised as a Rita Pay 19 & Under Distinction Nominee!

A fantastic recognition of Jamison’s achievements in netball, her outstanding season, and her valued contribution to the Blues. A truly well-deserved honour and a fantastic achievement to be proud of! Congratulations, Jamison!

PRESENTATION NIGHT – 24 SEPTEMBER

The club will gather in our clubrooms on Thursday, 24 September for our Presentation Night. Doors will open at 6pm for this free event, with festivities starting at 6.30pm.

We’ll be officially recognising our Best and Fairest award winners for all football and netball grades, as well as team-specific awards and those who contribute to the club behind the scenes.
