SCORERS: Ben Langford 2; Ben Pridmore 1; Paul McConnell 1; Joshua Wengi 1

This was the Grand Final. We went into this match as the team favored to succeed, and we did not disappoint the crowd of spectators who came for the match.
Once again this was a hard fought game against a determined opposition who had lost to us before.
In the first half we were able to maintain possession for the majority of the half, piling on three outstanding goals. The number of near misses keeping the opposition goalie busy for the entire half. If the opposition had possession and was making a run, all they had to do was blink and the ball was traveling towards their goal mouth.
In the second half the team came out determined to continue from where they left off putting away another two goals. Macca, our Stopper, registering his first goal for the season!

This team has now been confirmed as AA15 - 2007 Premiers and Champions.

A hard fought game against a good opposition. This was the cleanest game we have had in weeks.
We started the match with ten men for the first 30 mins and scored our first goal. Being short of players the team lifted and continued to look like they were going to score. In the second half we were able to pick up our momentum and put four more goals away. A mistake in the last minute allowed the opposition to get on the score sheet. All the players did exceptionally well demonstrating their superiority in ball skills and coverage of the field.

Game 2 - 22/4/07
SCORERS: Ben Nicholson 1; Kristofer Rowe 2; Ben Pridmore 1; Luke Montgomery 1
A hard fought tight game, there were many good runs but wayward shots meant that were unable to finish. It was a delight in the second half to see the strikers waltz around the defense and score. Our defense was generally solid, however fitness proved again to be an issue.
Regrettably we were down five regular players through injury or other commitments, this meant that we appreciated Morgan Smith, Aaron McGarvey, Nathan Godby and James Merrick subbing for us.
