Warragul Gazette | The Mid Gippsland footy season is up and away for season 2025, with six clubs getting wins on the board.

One club - Foster - will play their first game this weekend after a bye in round one.

Surprises on Saturday included Thorpdale's comfortable victory over Morwell East and Newborough's impressive performance against MDU. What can we expect in round two?
