Our Division 1 side, having made finals in the last game of the home and away round, travelled to Essendon in the Section Semi Final.

Essendon has been the benchmark team in this competition, and with strong credentials to win back a place in Premier Division, proved too strong, with a comfortable 64/108 win.

M. O’Brien 13/22; G. Senior 18/25; Shane Manifold 9/45; Ben Simmons 24/16. Essendon won the Section final against Brighton on Sunday, and now compete for a place in Premier Division over the next two weeks.

With 4 out of 5 sides making finals, and 3 sides earning promotion to a higher division, an exceptional year for all players and supporters.

The club will be actively recruiting over the off season, and would welcome any players looking to continue their pennant game at the highest levels of metropolitan pennant, with a great social atmosphere with a strong rural family friendly culture at its heart.

Go Yarra.
