It was a thrilling victory for Warrnambool's footballers, who advanced to the preliminary final after a one-point extra-time victory over Port Fairy.

The Blues hadn't led until Sam Cowling's point in extra time pushed it in front to record a 7.13 (55) to 7.12 (54) victory.

They now face North Warrnambool Eagles in Saturday's preliminary final.

It was a little more comfortable for Koroit's netballers, who defeated Camperdown on its home court to clinch a 10-goal victory.
