Roos vs. Eagles in OAFL Grand Final

September 27, 2008 by Daniel Eddy | View Comments (1)

The Toronto Eagles booked themselves a shot at their third Premiership in a row, when they defeated the Broadview Hawks by 57 points. The two clubs who played in last year's final match (Toronto and Etobicoke) will meet again to decide who takes out the 2008 OAFL Grand Final.

After their shock loss last weekend to the Kangaroos, the Eagles came out a more focused group and were determined to not go out of the finals in straight sets. The game was all but over at quarter time with Toronto leading by 30 points. The next three quarters were a lot more even as Broadview started to be more attacking at the ball, but they could never get close enough to really threaten on the scoreboard. Tarquin Netherway was the standout up forward for the winners with 4 goals, while Lachlan McDonald kicked 3.

All attention now turns to the Grand Final which promises to be a tremendous event, this year being hosted by the Etobicoke club on their home ground, Humber College's South Campus in Toronto. Festivities kick off at 11 am with the main game to be played at 2 pm. All our league sponsors and the media are invited to attend this big day, and family and friends are always welcome.
