Preliminary Final
A grade
Southern Flinders 9-12 (66) d BMW 3-11 (29)
Southern Flinders have advanced to the grand final with a hard fought 37 point win over BMW in the game played at Orroroo.
In near perfect conditions the game was a low scoring affair.
Both sides struggled to find a dominant forward.
BMW led by four points at quarter time before the Tigers fought back to lead by four points at half time.
After half time BMW’s scoring dried up and failed to kick a goal.
However, the Tigers kicked 5-7 to run away convincing winners.
This brings to an end the fairytale run of the Lions.
Lions up to a month ago sat on the bottom of the premiership ladder.
Best for Southern Flinders was hard working Mail Medallist Matt Woolford who played his typical classy game. Scott Brand with three goals, speedy Cody Turner, Chunky Zander, Rhys Millington and Scott Muzzone were all key contributors to the win.
Best for BMW were the McCallums (not for the first time this season).
Nicholas got the nod as best and has had an excellent year in his first season up from colts.
Kendrick McCallum, Casey McCallum, Geordie McCallum and Dylan McCallum were all superb with their attack on the ball. Damien Smith completed the list.
