Old Xaverians claimed the MEGT U19 Premier grand final with a 10-point win against St Bernard’s at Trevor Barker Oval.
An 18-point margin at the first break was the largest it blew out to throughout the entire match, with Bernard’s coming to within a kick at three quarter time.
However, a three-goal to two final term secured the victory for the Xavs in a game which could have gone either way.
Thomas Wynne dominated for the Xavs with three goals, while Hamish Morris starred in a best-on-ground performance.
Patrick Martin led from the front for Bernard’s, kicking four of his side’s 11 goals.
The two best teams throughout the home and away fixture, Xavs and Bernard’s finished one and two heading into finals.
