DIVISION TWO
LANGWARRIN has put the finishing touches on its perfect season.
The Kangaroos were crowned 2022 MPNFL Division Two premiers on Saturday. They defeated Karingal at Skybus Stadium.
Langwarrin entered the Grand Final undefeated for the season. A four goals to zero opening quarter saw them take a big early lead.
Karingal struggled to hit the scoreboard all day. Langwarrin were just too good for the Bulls, and went on to claim a 51 point win 10.9 (69) to 2.6 (18).
Mitchell Cuthbert, Billy Rolfe, and Joel Bateman were Langy’s best. Josh Dormer booted three goals.
The result capped off a fairytale day for Langwarrin. The club’s under-19s team won their Grand Final in a thriller over Seaford to start the day. The triumph was followed by a big win for Langwarrin’s reserves side in their Grand Final against Karingal.
DIVISION ONE
BONBEACH will play Frankston YCW in the MPNFL Division One Grand Final this Sunday.
The Sharks earned their way into the season decider by beating Frankston Bombers last weekend.
After a competitive start to the preliminary final, Bonbeach caught the Bombers on the back foot in the second quarter. A seven goals to two second term put the game out of the Bombers’ reach.
Bonbeach only scored one goal in the second half, but they had enough of a lead to hold on to the win. The Sharks won their way through to the big dance with an 11.14 (80) to 8.9 (57) win.
Shane McDonald impressed for Bonbeach with four goals. Beau Bailey and Matthew Douglas also performed well.
The 2022 Grand Final between Frankston YCW and Bonbeach will be held at Skybus Stadium this Sunday, 18 September. The first bounce is at 2.30pm.
Earlier in the day Frankston YCW’s under-19s team will play Mt Eliza in their Grand Final, and the Stonecats’ reserves will play Red Hill.
