Panthers snare U19 Section 3 premiership

Old Carey Grammarians are the U19 Section 3 premiers after they overcame a valiant Old Geelong to win by 14 points at Sportscover Arena.

In a match where the leader changed at every break, the Panthers nailed three goals to one in the final term to run over the top of their opponents.

Karsten Rodenberg was named Max Lyon medallist for his dominant display, while Jack Quartermain saw his fair share of the sherrin in a sensational four quarter performance.

Mitchell Nixon starred in front of goal, booting four majors for the winners’, while Jock Grimshaw stood tall and kicked two for Ogs.

Old Geelong will take confidence out of finishing first on the Division 3 ladder at the conclusion of the home and away season, with 15 wins from their 18 appearances.
