Just as expected, Stawell Toyota had no answers to Delahunty Plumbing’s lower tier men, with Seth Blake, Angus Williams and Blair Clayton doing as they please, all recording three comfortable victories on the evening. They were well supported by Amy Millar, Sam Ranton and Brian O'Shannessy in the triumph.
Delahunty Plumbing jumped out of the blocks with a 22 game lead after the first section of sets and while Stawell Toyota was competitive for the remainder of the night, they were unable to make any inroads into the margin, eventually going down 16 sets 176 games to 12 sets 157 games.
Molly Orr played a lone hand for Stawell Toyota, walking away with the Chris Tilley Memorial Award for best player in the grand final, after giving away just six games for the night. It was a disappointing end to a season that promised so much early for Stawell Toyota, who are now left to lick their wounds over the Christmas break, while to the victor go the spoils and Delahunty Plumbing will enjoy the fruits of their labour over the summer.
In the undercard, Grampians Joinery finished the season off on a high with a big win over Frewstal, 18 sets 176 games to 10 sets 122 games. Ben Martin, Bob Freeland, Holly Graveson and Will McDermott all played a huge part in the consolation prize victory.
