Shepparton South and Shepparton United duked it out in the under-14 green competition, with the young black-and-white outfit moving on courtesy of a 5-2 win at McEwen Reserve to set up a meeting with Shepparton.

In the under-14 orange division, Goulburn Valley Grammar powered past Kyabram Knights 4-0 to meet Shepparton City Schools Blue in the decider, while South took care of GV Grammar Gold 5-0 and will play United in the under-16 grand final.

It promises to be a bumper day of grand final action across the association on the McEwen pitches across Saturday’s play, with champions to be crowned across all under-12 competitions as well as the Open Girls division in addition to the above.
