“It’s extremely important that we play the William Buck Premier A Men’s Senior Grand Final on a surface that is suitable to that standard of football. Accordingly, we have made the decision to move tomorrow’s scheduled game to Trevor Barker Oval, Sandringham due to the poor state of Elsternwick Park.

This decision has been fully supported by both St Kevin’s and Old Brighton Football clubs and we thank them for the flexibility and understanding and look forward to showcasing the pinnacle game of our Men’s competition”
