DIVISION 2 SENIORS
Grand final
Yarra Junction 20.17.137 d Seville 6.5.41
Seville finished minor premiers but Yarra Junction beat the side two weeks ago.
These two had never met in a Grand Final.
Seville’s last second division premiership was in 1995 when they beat Kinglake, and Yarra Junction won their last title in 1990 when they beat Belgrave.
Since 1990, Seville has been runners-up three times and Yarra Junction four.
Some punters tipped Yarra Junction, but most would have tipped Seville.
It was apparent that the better-rested team was going to prevail.
Yarra Junction got off to a blinder in the first, kicking 5.5 to 3.1.
Tyson Wheeler was a handful for Seville.
The Eagles sapped all the energy from Seville in the second, piling on 6.5 to 1.2 to have a 49-point lead at the major break.
Seville looked stunned and completely outclassed.
The third quarter was quiet in comparison. The Eagles had full control and were heading for home with a very handy 59-point lead.
Yarra Junction started the party early in the last and kicked 7.2 to 1.1 – more than Seville had scored all day.
Yarra Junction broke a 28-year drought with the win.
Yarra Junction best: T. Armstrong (Best on Ground Medallist), J. Holmes (1 goal), C. Hoare (1 goal), T. Wheeler (5 goals), M. Sword, K. Robb (2 goals).
