IT IS great to see that the sides that finished first and second after the GVL home and away season will square off in the Grand Final this Sunday at Deakin Reserve.
The only issue we have with that is that Kyabram has won 62 games in a row and do not look like slowing down. Now that may seem boring and not worth going along to see but the Shepparton Bears have other ideas and as recent as three weeks ago, were leading the Bombers at three quarter time in the Qualifying Final.
The Bombers have not won either of their finals convincingly and a few experts are saying they are ripe for the picking. They are experts from the Shepparton Football Club but that’s another story.
Liam Ogden, Sam Sheldon, Kayne Pettifer, Jason Morgan, Kyle Mueller, the list goes on of country football stars that Paul Newman has at his disposal.
The Bears are now in good form and full of confidence after their two recent finals wins and have last year’s disappointment to turn around. Nick Allan, Ash Holland, the Brett brothers, Mitch and Joel and Nick Rokahr are well equipped to take it up to the Bombers.
Come 5pm on Sunday we will salute the Kyabram Football Club for a third successive undefeated year and we should all raise our glasses for this magnificent effort by all involved at Kyabram. The standards they have set in the GVL are unprecedented and should be celebrated by all.
