FULL-TIME PALM BEACH 18. 19 (127) – SPRINGWOOD 12.10 (82) It was third time lucky for Palm Beach, beating Springwood in the grand final. Springwood came out firing, but they couldn’t convert their advantage to scoreboard pressure. It took until the 11th minute of the final term for any score, let alone a goal, with Kristan Higgs slotting a crucial major, to take the margin to 38. Bryce Perry-Bolt finished with seven for the day, after kicking five in the first. Any chance of a Springwood resurgence were slashed when James Pennycuick was given a second yellow card in the final quarter. Jesse Derrick was sensational for Palm Beach, with a super consistent effort playing off the half-forward flank, while Dean Shegog dominated in the ruck. And a goal on the siren sweetened the deal for the LIons. To see how the game unfolded, click here: bit.ly/15YCoSQ
