Photographers Steve Huntley, Bruce Povey and Daniel Webb were out and about last weekend, capturing all the sports action across the region.

From a thrilling final in the PDFL at Katamatite that needed extra time to find a winner, to two epic first versus second finals clashes in the HDFNL at Gunbower and a jam-packed race meeting at Echuca, we were there to capture the action.
