Black Diamond AFL - Wrap Up

[-Doogs-]

Killarney Vale Bombers have pulled off a very unexpected upset over the much fancied Newcastle City Blues at Newcastle No 1 yesterday in the Black Diamond Cup Grand Final.

Kicking with a 2 goal wind in the first quarter, the Bombers came out firing and rattled City kicking 4.6 to 0.2 in the first quarter. Then the rain came and City were unable to use the wind to any advantage in the second quarter.

Coach Steve Cutler kicked the first goal of the third term and from there the writing was on the wall. The wind died off by 3 quarter time and City were now battling a team who could taste victory. Poor kicking and a dogged defensive effort by Killarney and it was just a matter of time.
