After competitive Crossover games on Friday night, another 48 VJBL teams have confirmed their place in Victorian Championship (VC) ahead of the 2021 season.
The first Crossover games of the grading season saw teams play against those from different grading pools to determine their position for Phase Two Grading, which begins this Friday night (26/02/21).
Everyone still had their eyes set on the target of earning a position in VJBL’s highest division, VC. With 48 teams already through to VC, the results of this Crossover held incredible importance, as there were another 48 spots ready to be filled.
Geelong United and Hawthorn made clear statements throughout the Crossover, adding four new teams each into VC.
Waverley Falcons entered the VC ranks for the first time this season with their U18 Girls securing a position as key competitors.
The addition of these 48 teams (as listed below), sees Hawthorn lead the pack with eight teams confirmed for VC and the most teams from an association through to the top tier.
Melbourne and Frankston follow closely with seven teams progressing, while Dandenong, Keilor, Kilsyth, McKinnon and Knox are holding their ground with six teams.
Bulleen, Casey, Eltham, Geelong United, Nunawading and Sandringham boast five teams and are sure to increase their team totals over Phase Two Grading where Under-21’s will enter the VJBL for the first time in 2021.
Phase Two Grading will consist of three rounds to determine teams positioning. Three Crossover Rounds will then follow to decide final team placings and rankings before the official 2021 VJBL season gets underway!
