Country League Football Association Championships
Ms COUZENS (Geelong) (13:02): We know how valuable a role community sport plays in our communities when it comes to supporting children and young people. With the support of the Andrews government, Geelong hosted the Victorian country football soccer championships over the recent long weekend, attracting over 4000 people from all over Victoria to our beautiful city. I congratulate Geelong football, the volunteers and everyone involved for the organisation of this huge event, which was a great success—and of course all participating teams from across the regions. The Geelong teams, particularly the under-14 and under-18 girls teams, did very well in the finals. The member for Lara and I had the pleasure of awarding the medals to the grand finalists.
