Gippsland Times | The 2024 North Gippsland Football-Netball season is now underway, after an enthralling opening round.

TTU suffered their first loss since the 2022 season, outdone by last year’s Grand Final opponent, Woodside.

It was on from the very first quarter, as 2023’s Grand Finalists went toe-to-toe to assert their dominance in the new season.

Both sides tallied 3.1 (19) in the first quarter, the close nature of the game mimicking that of the Grand Final itself. In an end-to-end quarter, both teams had their fair share of the football.

But someone had to break the chain, and it was Woodside who kicked away, with five goals to one in the second term to hold a 22-point advantage at the main break.

Given the nature of games these two played in last year, 22 points was a massive margin, but Woodside could not discount the side that is the reigning premier.
