The Ballarat Football Netball Club have been given a free pass into the Ballarat Football Netball League reserves preliminary final.

Bacchus Marsh Football & Netball Club has been deemed ineligible to contest Sunday’s first semi-final against the Swans after losing a large slab of premiership points owing to a coaching technicality.

The Cobras finished on top the ladder before losing the qualifying final to North Ballarat by one point.

AFL Victoria has since that match at the weekend ruled that Bacchus Marsh will not be able to appeal decision.

As well Bacchus Marsh being disappointed, Darley can also consider itself unlucky not to have played finals.

The Devils finished seventh and would’ve been part of finals had this matter been sorted before finals.

Clunes has found a new senior coach on its own new doorstep.

Veteran ruckman Shaun Finlayson has been appointed to take over the reins from Tim Shearer, who has moved on after two seasons.

Finlayson followed Shearer to Clunes Football Netball Club in 2025 as an assistant coach after the duo had crossed paths at Lake Wendouree Football Netball Club

Finalyson first played in the Central Highlands Football League with Bungaree in 2012 and represented the league five years in a row with the Demons.

He stayed with Bungaree until 2019 before moving to Lake Wendouree in 2021.
