AFL NEB Female Football League grand final, Birallee Park, Sunday, August 3, 12.45pm
It's the undefeated team against the defending premier when Wodonga Raiders meet Thurgoona in Sunday's AFL NEB Female Football League decider. Raiders haven't lost this season, but only four points separated the teams when they met in the semi-final. Chances are this game will be closer than last year's 52-point victory to Thurgoona. In the youth grand final, Lavington meet Alpine Lions at 11am.
PRECIOUS GIFT

As the national awareness week around organ donation draws to a close, Rutherglen and Tallangatta footballers and netballers will join together to promote the cause for the third straight year. With special jumpers and dresses designed for the games, the sporting clubs will raise money for the Jess McLennan Nursing Scholarship, remembering a club mate who gave the gift of life. Information about organ donation will also be available at the ground.
