Corio captain Toby Bennett has been given the honour of leading the Geelong and District Football Netball League in its return to representative football.
The star Devil was confirmed on Thursday night as skipper of the Raiders, who face the Colac and District League in an under-25 clash at Winchelsea on Monday.
It’s the first time the GDFNL has been in action since an open-age clash against the Bellarine in 2019.
Nine of the league’s 12 clubs have a representative in the final 23.
Bannockburn leads the way with four players selected, with Werribee Centrals, Corio, Belmont Lions and East Geelong each providing three.
Geelong West, Thomson, and Inverleigh don’t have a player in the final 23, with Hawk Logan Haberfield an emergency.
First bounce is at 1:30pm.
