The club will mark 50 years of involvement with the appeal, and members have reflected on the total of $1 million raised locally.

@westerneaglesfnc_ Eagles champion Ali Genua says she almost stopped playing netball in her teenage years until she found the Eagles.

Genua, 41, will notch up her 300th senior game when the Eagles take on Irrewarra-Beeac tomorrow.

It has taken the club stalwart 18 years to reach 300 games since making her A-Grade debut in 2007.

Colac district goal umpire Gary Bowen says sharing his milestone game with his grandson will be a special moment.

Bowen will bring up game 400 when he goal umpires the match between Irrewarra-Beeac and Western Eagles today.

Meanwhile, his grandson Noah will run the boundary, after making his umpiring debut for the CDFUA last year.
