DIVISION 2 GRAND FINAL
SENIORS
Yarra Glen 23.17 (155) d Seville 9.10 (64)
YARRA Glen was on fire from the first bounce on Saturday.
They jumped to a six-goal lead at the first change and should have been further ahead with their dominance. Seville was expected to hit back in the second quarter, but was held goalless in the first half with Yarra Glen going into half-time with a mammoth 73-point lead. The game was now about how far Yarra Glen was going to win by. The second half was a little more even but Yarra Glen was still well and truly on top in all aspects of this game, a special mention has to go to Yarra Glen’s Simon Gordon who produced a remarkable ‘Best on Ground’ performance finishing with 11 goals. Yarra Glen booted 12 second half goals while Seville did eventually open their goal account and finished with nine. Yarra Glen best players: Every single one of them. Seville best players: M. Callinan (1 goal), R. Kerr, L. Aitkins.
RESERVES
Seville 14.9 (93) d Alexandra 7.10 (52)
WHAT looked like a comfortable win was anything but for 2014 Premiers, Seville. Both teams struggled to find the big sticks in the first half, but with Seville getting a bit of a run going in the second quarter, they went into half time with a 20-point lead. The third quarter was a beauty with Alex hitting back, but Seville was able to steady enough to go into three quarter time with an 11-point lead. Seville saved their best footy for the last quarter, their run and carry too quick for Alex as they booted six goals to one. Seville best players: T. Groen ‘Best on Ground’ (4 goals), D. Cecere (6 goals), B. Conder (1 goal). Alexandra best players: L. Ragg, C. Jack (1 goal), L. Jenkins.
UNDER 18s
Woori Yallock 7.6 (48) d Wandin 6.9(45)
BOTH teams put on a classic match but Woori did look the slicker side early going into quarter time with a 13 points lead. The next two quarters saw a dire battle, with both sides going into every contest as if it was their last. Woori held just a two-goal lead at three-quarter time.
The last quarter was nail-biting stuff. Wandin looked to have the momentum, Woori scoring one goal to Wandin’s 2.3. Wandin had a chance late in the game to steal the lead, but the kick went astray, with Woori holding on to win by three points. Woori Yallock best players: B. Arnold ‘Best on Ground’ (3 goals), J. Dewhurst, T. Kear. Wandin best players: S. Kirk, A. Rouget (1 goal), A. Napoleone (1 goal).
