ANGLESEA has broken their 26-year premiership drought and has been crowned the kings of the Bellarine Football League for 2025.<\/p>\n
The Roos (14.10.94) prevailed by 13 points over Geelong Amateur (12.9.81) in a seesawing and highly entertaining affair at Newcomb’s Grinter Reserve today (Saturday, September 13).<\/p>\n
Anglesea led for most of the day but went into the three-quarter time break down one straight kick, before piling on four goals in the last quarter to run out victors.<\/p>\n
A fast-play out the back in the dying minutes set up Max Virgona to kick the fairytale goal to pull the Roos over the line.<\/p>\n
Harrison Ling led from the front for the blue and white all day and was crowned the inaugural Josh Finch Medallist for best on ground.<\/p>\n
Ling chipped in three goals and was complemented by small forward Will Batson, who kicked three of his own.<\/p>\n
Single goalkickers for Anglesea included Noah Collins, Declan Everett, Ayden Gras, Dale Kerr, Josh King, Simon Umbers, Max Virgona and Jack Walters.<\/p>\n
Sam Lloyd was at his typical best for Ammos and kicked three majors.<\/p>\n
BFL goal kicking award winner Mitch Day was kept quiet throughout the match by a gallant Anglesea defence and only registered one goal.<\/p>\n
Charley Green, Tom Gribble, Archer Hanegraaf, Luke Hillier, Harry Kershaw, Joe Maishman, Lachlan Reilly and Black Sutterby all scored a major.<\/p>\n
The Roos will likely celebrate the win well into the evening at their clubrooms at Elimatta Reserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
