B-grade out of the finals race

- B-grade: Berrigan 40 def by Strathmert­on 58.

It was an unexpected but welcomed finals appearance for our B-grade outfit.

Without the usual starting seven, added extras meant a couple of inclusions. It was a very consistent hit out from both Strathmert­on and Berrigan, with some spectacula­r passages of play as you would expect in finals features.

Defence were stoic and battled all day, and the Saints kept the Strathy side on edge and clawed their way within three goals at one stage.

There was great guidance by the experience­d players, and well done to those junior players who took it all in their stride.

Big thank you to our 2022 sponsors: AA Radio, JB Ware Builders and Pat Barretts Tyres. C-Reserve: Berrigan 26 def by Tungamah 40. Thank you to the girls for the season, and what an unreal job we did to make it to finals.

Everyone fought their hearts out, playing against a very strong fifth placed team. Unfortunat­ely we couldn’t come away with a win.

Under-13s: Berrigan 10 def by Katandra 18. What an amazing effort to make finals this year. The girls fought so hard every quarter, playing against a very strong fifth-placed team in the rain.
