Will Hughson and Myles Koelewyn were the main drivers as Monbulk Under 16 boys clinched the Outer East Junior Football League Ranges premiership last Sunday, beating Healesville by 35 points at Yarra Junction.
Hughson was best-on-ground as Monbulk’s even spread of goal-kickers took the Hawks to a deserved 9.15.69 to 4.10.34 victory.
Charlie Seamer kicked two goals and was also among Monbulk’s best. The Hawks’ other multiple goal-kickers were Riley Broadbent and Cooper Palmer, who also kicked two apiece. Zaine Dyer and Max Litchfield starred for Healesville.
The Yarra premiership went to Wandin Under-16 boys, who were too good for Woori Yallock. Best-on-ground Mitchell Upton led the way for Wandin with four goals, a figure matched by teammate Cooper Rowe, as it set up its 16.9.105 to 8.6.54 win.
The League completed its season on Sunday at Yarra Junction with the remaining age groups holding their grand finals. The other winners were Olinda-Ferny Creek under 14s and Mt Evelyn White under 16 girls.
