The weekend is nearly here and it's almost time for players to put their serious faces on.

But The Standard ventured to Warrnambool training this week to delve into the lighter side of sport.

Watch here as Blues footballer Jackson Bell asks his teammate Jordy Foott the hard questions.

Half a world away one of Warrnambool's own, Marc Leishman, started his Masters campaign at Augusta this morning.

We wish him all the best as he strives to secure the coveted green jacket.

It was a succesful week for another south-west export with Woodford's Tommy Jackson starring in the Victorian Premier Cricket grand final.
