VAFA Women’s Premier B (Blue) fixture released

The fixture for the newly-formed Premier B (Blue) has been released ahead of the 2018 VAFA season.

With two Premier B sections this season (Blue & White), Blue will have a reserves competition and White will not.

Brunswick Renegades will start as hot favourites for the Blue competition and will meet Collegians in their Round 1 opener. The Renegades were placed into Premier B following a debut VAFA season in William Buck Premier, while the Lions make the jump after falling just one point short in their Development Division 2 preliminary final against Old Carey.

St Mary’s Salesian and Old Camberwell will face off in the most anticipated game of Round 1 after both sides claimed premierships in Development Division 1 and 2 last year.

West Brunswick fell just one point short of a grand final victory against the Saints, and will face reigning Development Division 3 premiers Mazenod. The Nodders trailed by four points late in their decider against Old Mentonians before Julia Bortoli kicked a clutch go-ahead goal with just two minutes remaining on the clock, handing the Nodders an unbelievable victory.

The final game of Round 1 will be Monash Blues and Old Geelong after both sides missed finals in Development Division 1 last year. The Oggettes will enter with a mild confidence after claiming two wins over the Blues by an average of 9.5 points.
