Gippsland FNLWarragul Gazette | It all comes down to this.

Eighteen rounds - plus three weeks of finals - will all culminate this Saturday when Leongatha faces off with Traralgon in the Gippsland League grand final.

These are two sides that are no strangers to the big stage. One the undisputed kings of the competition for the past few years while the other are looking to recapture the glory that has dominated their past.

On the one hand you have Leongatha.

Coming into 2024 as the two-time reigning premiers, the Parrots have enjoyed yet another successful campaign atop the ladder.

They've tasted defeat just three times - twice to Morwell and once to Moe - and are coming in hot as the favourites for many a punter.

Their veterans have shown few if any signs of slowing down but more than anything, it's been their ability to replenish and continue onwards that's been most admirable.

The Parrots side that took to the field for their second semi final drubbing of Moe featured seven players who weren't around for last year's grand final.

The names they've had to replace have hardly been minor ones either.

Players like Aaron Heppell and Aaron Hillburg, who contributed week in and week out through many a successful season, are hard players to live up to but with the current squad have simply gotten on with it.
