The game was played at carrara and it was a cracking game of footy. the first quarter was domminated by southport from start to finish. The first goal of the game was kicked in the first minute of the game and the panthers looked rattled from that quick start. Southports midfield got on top and started run rampant with David james having a field day on his wing and danny wise collecting possies at will. Morningside gradually got themselves back into the game late in the quater and started win every contest with Goiugh and lillico playing pivotal roles. Southport led by 23 points at quarter time
The second quarter was a one way battle in this one, with Morningside getting on top of Southport all over the park. Their midfield were domminant throughout the quarted with the likes of holman, spackman and conroy running rampant. A handy player in that quarter for Morningside was Jayden Russ who nullified the run of David James who had possession dried up. Browning was a brilliant in that quarter kicking 2 goals with Matthew Logan put morningside in front. Southport were shut down, but their 2 best players in that quarter were Kurt Nickalus, who was blanketing Kent abey and Luke Jenkins who giving drive off the half back flank. Southport lead at half time by 5 points
The premiership quarter lived up too it's billing. That quarter was a cracker by both teams. Sam Brown was clearly the best player on the park that quater kicking 3 goals in the space of 10 minutes and should have kicked anoth one, but tried too be unselfish by hand passing it off too be intercepted by Clint Watts. Southport just kept their heads above water in that quarter and they can thank Danny Wise and Nickalus again. it should be a cracking last quarter..
What a last quarter it too finish off a great season. It started off like a house on fire. The ball was kicked forward by Southport and a mark was taken by Ben macentee and than it was all turned around when there was an infringement in Morningsides forward line. Instead of a shot on goal for Southport, there was a shot on goal for morningside and hayden willson slotted it and put the siders in front by 2 goals. Another infirngement in the middle and a 50 metre penalty too go with and another shot on goal for Morningside, but this time they missed. a long bomb from Matthew logan and the sider were in front by 3 goals. Than it started too happen for Southport. A gut busting run by Ben Merritt and a mark to David cameron and a long goal pegged the margin back to 2 goals. Southport just started to run and run and Morningside looked shot 4 unanswered goals later Southport had the flag in their keepings
It was a classic grand final between 2 great rivals. jacob Gough was named joe Grant medalist ahead of Danny WISE AND kURT NIKALOUS
