Burbank Oval

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Burbank Oval, formerly know as the Morris St. Oval, is located at Morris Street, Williamstown, Victoria. It backs onto Port Phillip Bay, and is next to the Esplanade.

Burbank Oval is the home of the Williamstown Seagulls, a team in the VFL (Victorian Football League). This is a feeder league to the AFL (Australian Football League).

Cricket is also known to have been played there, and the oval has hosted a few junior football league Grand Finals, the most recent springing to mind the Under 14D's WRFL Grand Final played between Spotswood Football Club and St. Bernards Football Club. St. Bernards were the eventual winners.

In 2007, the ground will be unavailable for the VFL draw, as there are redevelopments taking place.
