The 2025 Gippsland Youth Interleague Carnival delivered a brilliant day of junior representative football and netball, highlighting the incredible depth of talent across the region’s leagues. The event was held yesterday at the Morwell Recreation Reserve in front of a great crowd!
Congratulations to our players on their efforts at Junior Interleague! The winner of the Carnival was determined by the combined results of both the football and netball. Gippsland League won the carnival after winning 7/8 games for the day.
