The Ressies slipped out to an early lead, held strong, then powered away to take the points against St Kevin's OB at Toorak Park today.

The Grand Final rematch was never going to be close, with fine performances from many players who might soon feature in senior coach James McDonald's plans.

Tim Golds and Tommy Amad were exceptional, the former brilliant in the front half, while the latter provided rebound and safety at the other end.
