Club XV1II finals now over 4 I weeks
Recently Club XVIII teams were asked to consider a proposal to play a four week finals series which ~vould enable the grand finals to be played on a Sunday at Elsternwick Park which has become a bit of a tradition over recent years .

Please refer to the EP Program in this issue for actual dates .
