The three leagues did battle at Mooroopna Recreation Reserve, with teams in under-13, under-14, under-15 and under-16 divisions featuring the best junior football talent the area has to offer.
It was the Goulburn Murray Junior League that romped to the title, with all four of its teams going undefeated in a supreme display of football.
Echuca, Leitchville-Gunbower and Kyabram were all well represented in the title-winning squad, even producing some best-on-ground performances.
