Ballarat FNL | The action returns this weekend after a long but intriging off-season. With plenty of enticing contests on the fixture, we're sure to start the year off with a bang!

 In the first game under lights for the 2025 Season, Ballarat Swans host North Ballarat in one of two Ballarat based clashes.

Although North Ballarat has won nine of its past twelve clashes against Ballarat, the figures may be a little unkind to the Swans.

The Swans stormed home in 2024 to win seven of their last eight games, before their finals campaign came to an end after a six-point loss to East Point in gruelling conditions.

The Roosters on the other hand will look to enter the 2025 Season in much better shape than the backend of 2024. Injuries flooded the roster, including the now Port Melbourne VFL listed Riley Polkinghorne who, up until injury, was in good stead to be a Henderson Medal favourite.

Both clubs will be flaunting a number of new recruits for season 2025.

Expect the Swans’ Biggie Nyuon to headline the list of recruits across both teams and see how he’ll find his feet at the BFNL level.
