Waubra coach Matt James and captain Tom Nash lift the cup.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

WAUBRA have emphatically claimed their first Bendigo & Rural Bank Central Highlands Football League senior\u2019s flag in over a decade, destroying Hepburn at Mars Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Kangaroos took the game, and their opponents, by the scruff of the neck early in the first quarter and never really let go, running out 14.13 (97) to 6.9 (45) winners.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very special,\u201d said Wabura captain Thomas Nash. \u201cWe\u2019re very, very proud.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew we needed to have a good start and we we\u2019re luckily enough to kick with the wind at the beginning, so we put the pressure on early.<\/p>\n

\u201cHepburn are one of those sides that can be whatever they want. From whatever position they can come back and give you a run for your money. So we knew that we\u2019d have to be on to them all day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Best on ground, James Lukich, celebrates after a late goal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Things may have been different if \u2018Burra hadn\u2019t struck the post 30 seconds after the first bounce. But they were, and Nash took control a minuate later and slotted home an easy goal. From there Waubra went onto kick two more majors before Bradley McKay was able to crumb off a loose ball in Hepburn\u2019s forward 50, streak in and boot the Burra\u2019s only major of the quarter. Waubra then got another two late and asserted their authority over the game.<\/p>\n

The second quarter saw the score keepers not often troubled, although Hepburn did have a few early chances to right their ship. Half-way through Waubra were able to put together probably the best piece of play for the game, with multiple quick handballs and a whole of team effort leading to Austin Murphy kicking truly from about 35m out. The \u2018Roos again showed mean skill close to the half-time siren, with good ball movement ending up in Joshua Crawford alone in the goal square and Waurba going into the rooms 35-points up.<\/p>\n

Despite a mini comeback, of sorts, Hepburn proved the rule: you can\u2019t win grand finals by scoring only one goal in two quarters. Two goals midway through the third was 100 per cent more scoring than the \u2018Burra had managed in the first-half, but that effort was off-set by Waubra\u2019s four. By the time the premiership quarter was over the \u2018Roos lead was out to 44.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Defeat and victory<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Garbage time started early with Waubra running rampant in the last, booting two goals early and again dominating their now visibly dispirited opponents. Hepburn managed to get one back around the 11-minute mark. From there is was all Waubra, with best on ground, James Lukich, slotting home a peach from hard on the boundary.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable, super excited. It was a great game,\u201d said Waubra coach, Matt James after the final siren. \u201cWe just kept our eye on the prize and the four-quarter effort was outstanding.<\/p>\n
