Modewarre will meet Anglesea in the Bellarine Football League elimination final on Sunday August 20 while Drysdale takes on Barwon Heads in the qualifying final on Saturday.

Modda’s form in the second half of the season has been impressive and in a dress rehearsal for the game, defeated Anglesea in the final round of the season.

Modda was without star onballer Josh Finch while the Roos rested several players including coach Jordan Keras and key forward Dylan Pettingill.

Anglesea was goalless for the first half as Tom Hornsey was unstoppable up forward. He would end the game with six goals to take his season’s tally to 59.

Connor Joseph booted three goals and has 51 for the season.

Barwon Heads’ 56-point round 14 win against Drysdale is now a distant memory.

Drysdale is now in better form than the Seagulls in what looms as an evenly matched qualifying final.

The Hawks brushed aside Geelong Amateur with Mitch O’Dowd best afield while James Breust booted four majors.

Breust (34 goals) and Tom Ruggles (58) form a potent forward line leading into finals.

Barwon Heads prevailed by 61 points against Newcomb with Mitch Phelps bobbing up to boot five goals.

The Seagulls are likely to regain several key players for their qualifying final.

Newcomb skipper Jack Duke was excellent with four goals.

Ocean Grove finished the season on a high with its fifth win of the season.

The Grubbers defeated Queenscliff by 24 points thanks to ruckman Ed Dayman continuing his splendid form and three goals from Jye Walker.

Both clubs will now have the offseason to improve their lists.

Torquay thrashed Portarlington by 138 points and will sit this week out as a reward for finishing on top of the ladder.

Lucas Anderson took his goal haul to 74 with a haul of seven while four players booted three each.

Portarlington was winless for the season, but has made massive strides forward.
