The under 11 footballers will kick proceedings off on Saturday at Princes Park, in a qualifying final clash against Talbot. When the teams last met back in early June, Talbot prevailed by seven points. The young Grasshoppers will be looking to Will Moloney, Jacob Martin and Jacob Dunn to continue their strong form and lead the way with eyes on a path straight through to a preliminary final in two weeks.
Navarre's remaining sides hit the park Sunday in knockout elimination finals, with the under 17 footballers facing off against Maryborough Rovers at Hedges Oval. It was way back in round 3 when the sides last met, with Navarre recording a convincing 14-goal win. But the Hoppers will not want to be complacent and will need Mace Bibby, Dallas Flanagan and Charlie Ferguson to lead them through to the second week.

Navarre's netballers then take centre stage with the under 11 girls first on court also at Hedges Oval in a clash against Lexton. While the Tigers took the points in two tight clashes throughout the season, Navarre's girls will be looking to build on their strong showing last week against top-four side Avoca.
The action then moves back to Princes Park where the under 17s hit the court against Lexton. Already in finals mode after their critical win against Avoca last round, the girls will fancy their chances to continue their good form.
Finally, the B Grade Grasshoppers face off against Avoca for the second week running. Keen to make amends for their frustrating second-half fadeout against the Bulldogs last weekend, Navarre will be looking to bounce back and will look to Britt Tannock, Meg Newton and Shae Hannett to fire again.
