The Yarra Glen and Yea football clubs were beaming with pride on Sunday 7 May as their footballers and netballers hit the ground for the fourth annual Pride Cup.
All games were played in great spirit, amid plenty of keynote speeches and activities promoting diversity and inclusion in sport.
On the big stage, it was Yarra Glen that emerged triumphant, thanks in part to Grant Filsell who was awarded the Pride Cup Medal for best on ground. Meanwhile, team-mate Ross McDermott booted seven goals for the winners. Yarra Glen now sits on top of the Division 2 ladder after their 114-point victory.
Mail photographer GREG CARRICK was there to snap all the action.
