The Giants held a gallant Heywood at bay during an enthralling grand final at Portland's Hanlon Park to win 12.13 (85) to 10.6 (69) on Saturday.

Former Nirranda defender Chris Lenehan was best afield for his efforts against giant Lions forward Shane Keegan.

But Heywood didn't finish the day empty-handed. The Lions' A grade netballers caused an upset on the court, defeating Cavendish 45-37.

Moyston-Willaura capped off an emotional week with grand final spoils, defeating Tatyoon in the Mininera and District league grand final.

The Pumas paid tribute to former president Ruth Brain in the best-possible fashion, upstaging the Hawks by about nine goals at Glenthompson.

Brain died suddenly on Tuesday morning, just hours after attending the MDFL vote at Lake Bolac on Monday night.

The premiership was the Pumas' first since Moyston and Willaura merged in 2000. The club endured repeated beltings during the mid-200s.

And Simpson has claimed its first Colac and District league premiership with a thrashing of Birregurra at Colac's Central Reserve.

The Tigers led by six points at quarter-time but piled on 18 goals to two thereafter to win 21.13 (139) to 5.6 (36).

Ruckman Corey Baulch, a former Camperdown and Cobden footballer, earned the best-on-ground medal.

Colac Imperials defeated South Colac in a high-scoring A grade netball grand final, 67-51.
