The strong VCFL teams proved too strong for the VAFA in the U19 and Premier C-Div 4 level clashes, but the Ammos’ senior team triumphed in a heartstopper at Deakin Reserve, Shepparton tonight.
The Ammos threatened to run away with it early in the third after Jonno Nash goaled, but a fifteen minute barrage saw the Country kick seven goals. The VAFA kicked a couple of late ones to restore their lead before losing it again at the 21 minute mark of the last quarter. Again, the VAFA fought back and ran down the clock.
The victory is the VAFA’s first since 2001.
