Collegians will get their chance at redemption in this year’s William Buck Premier Grand Final after they defeated St Kevin’s OB by seven points in a thriller at Elsternwick Park.
Leading by 23 points at three quarter time, Lachie Ferguson kicked the first goal in the fourth term before SKOB mounted their comeback and came to within one point with goals to Cal Matheson, Henry Parkes, James Corboy and Billy Kanakis.
After repelling several of SKOB’s late forward thrusts, Collegians surged forward and Hugh Johnson soccered a sensational goal, ultimately sealing a grand final berth for the Lions.
Courtney Hylton was outstanding for the Lions and spent a part of the match rucking against Anthony Lynch, while George Burbury ignited his side early with the first two goals of the game. Viv Michie and Sam Hibbins each found plenty of the ball.
Injury decimated SKOB early after they lost Mitch Brown (concussion), Sam Critchley (ankle) & Stephen Gilham (knee) in the first quarter and a half, but a galvanised effort from those remaining kept them in the match. Lynch starred for SKOB through the ruck, dominating stoppages with his tap work and following up with repeat efforts on the ground.
SKOB will now face the winner of tomorrow’s clash between Old Brighton and Old Trinity in next week’s preliminary final.
