The VFLW Bendigo Bank Cats will meet Collingwood in a Qualifying Final at the Holden Centre on Saturday afternoon, in week one of the 2021 rebel VFLW Finals Series.
The two sides faced each other last weekend in Round 14 in a top-of-the-table clash, where the Pies claimed a 19-point victory. Geelong will be confident that they can reverse the result, in what was a highly contested match.
Much of that game was played in the Cats' forward half in the physical affair, with this weekend’s final set to be a clash of two quality sides.

If the Cats win they will play in the Second Semi Final next week, with the opportunity to earn a bye and progress directly to the Grand Final. A loss would see Geelong qualify for the First Semi Final and having to win through the Preliminary Final.
The first bounce will be at 12pm. Crowds are permitted, and the game will be broadcast live through the VFL YouTube channel. Updates will also be available on the Catswomens Twitter and Instagram pages.
