The stage is set for one of the biggest weekends of Victorian football ever, as the 2025 Senol NPLM and NPLW Victoria Grand Final matchups are now set and the VPLM and VPLW season finales have their contestants.
It began last Friday night, as Heidelberg United held off a gallant Preston Lions side to win 2-1 and book their place in 2025 Senol NPLM Victoria Grand Final. In the final they will face Dandenong City where in one of the biggest upsets in NPLM history, defeated the heavily favoured Avondale 1-0.
For the women’s NPL Heidelberg United vs Essendon Royals kicked off their Senol Semi Final at 4:15 and played out a hotly contested match at Olympic Village. The reigning NPLW Champions scored early and never relinquished their one goal lead, setting up a massive Senol NPLW Victoria Grand Final against Box Hill next Saturday from 4pm at The Home of The Matildas.
Last Friday night VPLM 1 sides Brunswick City and North Sunshine Eagles, met for the play offs. North Sunshine sent the match to extra time thanks to a brilliant volleyed 90th minute equaliser, only for Brunswick to score twice in the opening period and put the game to rest. The 3-1 win sees Brunswick City through to the VPLM 1 Promotion playoff match.
