Battle at the top continues for Yarraville-Seddon and North Footscray

The back and forth between Yarraville-Seddon and North Footscray continued in week one of the Western Region Football League division 2 finals on Saturday.

The two sides have been the clear standouts in the division, playing a game of musical chairs between first and second place.

North Footscray fired the first shot during the home-and-away rounds, taking out the minor premiership.

Yarraville-Seddon hit back in the semi-final on Saturday, downing North Footscray by 12 points to be the first side to advance to the grand final.

In a low scoring tussle at Hogans Road Reserve, Yarraville-Seddon only needed seven goals to trump North Footscray’s six.

The Eagles managed to hold a lead at every change and kept the Devils at bay in the last stanza.

It will be Yarraville-Seddon’s second grand final in as many seasons.

The Eagles have unfinished business after losing to Caroline Springs by 14 points in last season’s decider.

Eagles coach Dean Callaway announced during the week he will be stepping down from the role.

Callaway has been senior coach for the past three seasons and was reserves coach for the two years prior.

North Footscray will face Manor Lakes in the preliminary final at Wyndham Vale South Oval on Saturday. The Storm advanced to the second week of the finals with a 48-point win over Albanvale.
