Gridiron Victoria would like to congratulate all the victorious clubs from a massive Vic Bowl Sunday.

It was a fantastic Melbourne day down at Casey Fields where for the first time in GV history all four Vic Bowl games were played on the same day. It was also amazing to see 4 different clubs take home the four Vic Bowl trophies.

GV would like to thank the Casey Warriors Rugby club for being our hosts for the day, the team did a fantastic job supporting GV along with the Casey City Council we wish to thank you both.

Below are your 2019 Champions along with links to highlights from all the games thanks to Onside Kick Productions.
