Warragul Gazette | A clash between perennial finalists of recent years in Neerim-Neerim South and Buln Buln will headline round two of Ellinbank District football.

Having traded blows in the 2022 and 2023 grand finals, both the Cats and Lyrebirds have been at the pointy end of the ladder in recent seasons.

They'll be hoping season 2025 proves no exception, setting up another early intriguing clash.

The new recruits for the Cats led the charge in an opening round strong victory over season 2024 mid-table side Nilma-Darnum, boding well for their season.

Despite some anticipating a slight drop off of sorts for Buln Buln, the Lyrebirds took it up to an Ellinbank side expected to also feature at the top end of the ladder.

The Lyrebirds' defence has been lauded for being the best in the competition in recent seasons, and last week proved no exception.

The test will come against a potent Cats forward line.
