The Ballarat league has been pitted against the Hampden competition, while the Highlanders are scheduled to meet North Central.
Ballarat, which lost to Goulburn Valley on the MCG earlier this year, is ranked eighth overall, with the Central Highlands 22nd. The Highlanders were beaten by Riddell and District at Buninyong during May.
The top-ranked match of the AFL Victoria Community Championships will see metropolitan’s Northern league take on country Victoria’s Geelong league. This follows the withdrawal of the number-one ranked Eastern competition.
Venues and timings for all games are yet to be finalised.
Rohan Brown and Heath Pyke will joint-coach the Central Highlands senior side in 2019, with the Ballarat league yet to announce a replacement for Shaun O’Loughlin.
