THE 2022 Bellarine Football League Grand Final will be a re-run of 2019\u2019s, with Barwon Heads securing a Preliminary Final win over Drysdale, 13.12.90 to 7.12.54.<\/p>\n
Dan Donati\u2019s side pulled away in the fourth and final term, outkicking the Hawks four goals to one and locking up a season-deciding encounter with Torquay next Saturday, September 3.<\/p>\n
After what was an evenly balanced contest, it was another stellar performance for the Seagulls\u2019 big forward Nathan Brown, who kicked four goals on the day.<\/p>\n
Ned Aulsebrook was also key in front of goal, nabbing a brace at Grinter Reserve.<\/p>\n
Barwon Heads\u2019 Sammy Baker, Brock Close, Braeden Eddy, Ryan Harvey, Mitchell Herbison, Charlie Hurst and Lachlan Wilson also hit the scoreboard with majors.<\/p>\n
Mat Hebbard matched Brown with four goals but was only bolstered by three teammates on the day, as Ben Fennell, Jarrod Garth and Ben Ryan were also listed as goal-kickers.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately for Drysdale, they will have to wait another year to win their first premiership since 2010.<\/p>\n
Barwon Heads will look to repeat as BFL premiers after defeating Torquay 13.7.85 to 10.11.71 in the Grand Final three years ago.<\/p>\n
Torquay is hoping to add a ninth BFL trophy to its cabinet, with the most recent one coming in 2017.<\/p>\n
The Tigers and Seagulls start next Saturday at the newly rescheduled time of 1:30pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
