DROMANA has moved one step closer to premiership glory after booking its spot in the Grand Final.
Dromana played Frankston YCW in the semi-final at Olympic Park in Rosebud last Saturday. The Tigers were ruthless, and put the Stonecats to the sword.
The first quarter went Dromana’s way – the Tigers held the Stonecats goalless and took a 14 point lead into the first break. They stretched their lead to 36 points by the time half-time rolled around.
Dromana continued to apply the pressure in the second half. They ran out 79-point winners 17.12 (114) to 5.5 (35).
Billy Quigley, Matthew Gahan, Luke Oborn, Billy Geurts, and Riley Davis were named Dromana’s best. Quigley and forward Ethan Johnstone each scored three goals.
Frankston YCW will move on to this Sunday’s preliminary final at Olympic Park. They will play Mt Eliza – the Redlegs progressed by beating Rosebud 12.5 (77) to 8.9 (57) on Sunday.
