Seagull pair Emily Kehagias and Kristie-Lee Drake booted four goals.

Former Grubber player Candace Harrison-Smith won plenty of ball for Barwon Heads and was named her side’s best player.

Grubber senior co-captain Emily Jarvis tackled hard and competed well at stoppages in the ruck, while fellow co-captain Bianca Zeinstra, a three-point player, played a good game and was also named in the best.

Teenager Maddy Searle featured in the Grubbers’ best.

OCEAN Grove will now play at home to Grovedale in a night game this Friday at Ray Menzies Oval.
