Another tight contest for the team but terrific conversion of our chances meant we ran out comfortable winners. Even contribution from all our players made it a great game to watch. Nice way to finish the season. Well done team and look forward to next year.
OGCC Blue (43) vs Torquay Coles (44)
Another great game but unfortunately Blue were pipped at the post by a strong finishing Torquay team coming home with the wind. Despite this result, there is nothing to be disappointed in the way these boys have gone about their football all year at training and on game days. The coaches couldn’t be more proud of their skill development over the year and the endeavour they have shown in their desire to win the contest for the ball. All this and the fact that they are simply a fantastic bunch of kids who clearly love their footy and always have a ’thanks coach’ to offer after the game.

Awards went to Will Cunningham, Mitchell Charleston, Luke O’Brien, Oliver Terhorst, Cooper Clark.
