Season 2025 will have an irregular start, with all teams, other than Colbinabbin, playing in the first round on April 12, before Easter brings about a general bye the following week.

Lockington-Bamawm United has a night fixture to look forward to in round one, hosting Huntly at Lockington Recreation Reserve.

The Cats know their path in season 2025 after the fixture list was released.

The Cats are looking to progress up the table after finishing eighth in 2024, and have an opportunity to show off-season growth taking on a Hawks side who finished only one win ahead of them last season.

In netball, LBU is in a similar position, having finished in seventh last year, and will look to build on a 3-13 season in 2024.

Apart from the Easter weekend there are no further general byes set for the 18-round regular season, which concludes on August 16.

Finals will begin on the weekend of August 23-24, with grand final day set for September 13.

Leitchville-Gunbower, Colbinabbin, Elmore, North Bendigo and Huntly are all set down to host finals fixtures over the four week finals campaign.

The premiers are set to be crowned on grand final day on September 13.
