Windy at times, but success for O&K grand final day

DESPITE some wintery winds, Saturday’s Ovens and King FNL grand final day was hailed as a massive success by organisers. Around 3000 people walked through the gates at WJ Findlay over to witness the culmination of the football and netball seasons. The day kicked off with the under 15s netball decider between Bonnie Doon and Greta, with the Bombers proving 10 goals too good, 23-13. The Bombers also claimed the C grade cup over the Blues, taking the win 58-44 over Greta. Milawa saluted in the next two games, defeating Bonnie Doon 45-42 in the B reserve clash, and 54-41 in B grade. The Demons also fired on the football field, with Milawa’s reserves side claiming the flag 7.12 (54) over Greta’s 4.7 (31). O&K FNL league operations manager Shankar Menon said the day went very smoothly. “I think it was a beautiful day not just for football but overall, for the whole league,” he said. “There was a bit of history especially on the football field, where both senior teams hadn’t won it in more than 20 years. “In the A grade netball, Greta were going for six in a row, they’ve been five-times defending champions. “Overall, it was an exciting day for the neutrals – weather-wise, apart from a little bit of wind, we got through the day pretty well. “It was overall a very good day for everyone involved and for the clubs involved with the catering and the bar, both clubs had very positive feedback. “They actually ran out of items so they had to go into town to restock, so it was a very healthy day for them as well.” The league wished to thank all the sponsors, clubs, volunteers and supporters who made the day and season as successful as it was.
