The day had arrived.
Grand Final Day over at Yarra Glen, it was set to be be a warm one with the sun shining.
Reserves ran out on the field at midday to take on Powelltown and they had a tough task
They knew they were going to come out strong physically and mentally.
The team knew they all had a role to play for themselves, each other and for the club.
They knew the job they had to do and that was play footy.
They started strong and kept Powelly to 3 behinds and secured a goal and 2 behinds for themselves.
The second quarter was much more to the Burras advantage, again, leaving Powelly to only secure 1 point on the board and kicking another 2 goals and 5 behinds for themselves.
They currently had control but at half time and a quick reset, Powelltown could come out differently.
They had a 22 point leading heading into the last quarter, but they still had to continue on for another 20 more minutes.
Another big quarter for the Burras, another 3 goals were secured and 5 behinds, keeping Powelltown to only secure another 2 behinds.
The win was theirs and another back to back premiership for the Reserves boys.
Tyler Bert earned himself the Best on Ground Medal.
Well done boys!
Aaron Pye, Aaron Maguire, Jackson Blake, Matt Sidari and Marcel Kocher were also named top performers.
Tyler Bert, Damien Egan and j Christian Toy all secured 2 goals each and Kobi Gay got 1 to his name.
Thank you to everyone who supported us all year and turned up Saturday to cheer on the Burras.
A loud cheer squad was there from start to finish and helped us secure 4 flags for the year.
2 years in a row the most successful club in Division 2 and we couldn’t be more proud.
Another thank you to our sponsors for helping us be the club that we are.
To our volunteers, trainers, coaches and players, thanks for giving your all to the Burras.
Bring on 2024!
