Snow Dogs return to William Buck Premier

St Bernard’s will return to William Buck Premier in 2019 after they won through to this year’s Premier B decider with a 31-point victory over Old Carey at Box Hill City Oval.

Trailing by 16 points at the first break, the minor premiers dominated the second term with five unanswered goals before running out the second half with another five goals to three.

Michael Caven was the main destroyer in front of goal with four for the Snow Dogs, while Tom Caven and Tom Sullivan were among the best players.

Andrew Sloan was the best for the Panthers after he held Chad Jones goalless just one week after the star forward kicked his 100^th goal for the year. The Panthers will now play the winner of tomorrow’s first semi-final between University Blacks and Caulfield.

The Snow Dogs return to the VAFA’s top section after suffering relegation in 2016.
