Ovens & Murray League 2026 season

Overview

The 2026 Ovens & Murray League season has been defined by Wangaratta's rapid ascent and several significant breakthrough performances. On July 25, Wangaratta secured a 36-point victory over Yarrawonga, fueled by an eight-goal third-quarter blitz from Jack Mapleson, James McClounan, and Joel Stevens. This win lifted the Magpies to the top of the ladder, establishing them as premiership favorites.

During the same round, the Wodonga Raiders ended a 36-match losing streak with a one-point away win against Corowa-Rutherglen, led by four goals from Tom Bracher.

Following their climb to the top, Wangaratta clinched the minor premiership on August 1 after a 13-10 win over Lavington. Forward Tyson Young kicked five goals despite playing through the flu. In a separate match that day, Ganmain-Grong Grong-Matong secured a 78-75 victory over the Wagga Tigers, with Nate and Seb Hamblin each contributing three goals.

In netball action on August 6, Wodonga broke a long-standing drought by defeating Yarrawonga 52-42, marking their first win against the opponent since their 2015 premiership. Wodonga's victory was driven by defensive pressure and high scoring from Molly Moylan and Abbey Bloye.
