to 13.16.94, to claim the club\u2019s fourth flag in its 68-year history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Leopold captain and now two-time premiership player Marcus Thompson said the feeling of winning another premiership for his club is unreal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cWhat drove me all season was to see my teammates become premiership players for this club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cI see so much passion and hard work from these guys and they really buy into the culture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cTo see them rewarded with a premiership means the world to me, and in tow with that is Buddha [Garry Hocking], to play under him is a privilege, he is Leopold through and through and it\u2019s so great to see him now as a premiership

at the opening break.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">The first-half blitz by the Lions provided the catalyst on the day, comfortably leading 57-8 at half-time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Mark Neeld\u2019s side showed fight in the third quarter, outkicking Leopold three goals to two, but by three-quarter-time Leopold had both hands on the premiership cup, leading 72-28.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">The final margin settled at 50 points as thousands ran onto the ground following the final siren.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Mitchell Patten was again the main target in the Lions forward line, kicking a game-high four majors, while Samuel Scott and William Sheahan each kicked a pair.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_84702\"
