In the CR grade grand final his Mountain Tigers team faced off against the All Stars - a team they hadn't beaten during the regular season.
Owen's team finished the regular season 3rd on the ladder and played off for a semi final spot against 4th. They comfortably took care of 4th place only to have the result protested and replayed the match mid-week. They beat their 4th placed opponents by a bigger margin during the replay.
Meanwhile the All Stars, having finished top of the table after the regular season, played 2nd placed Ranges for a place in the grand final and a week off. The game was tied at full time and the All Stars won in overtime.
After playing two elimination finals in a week the boys now faced off against Ranges in the semi. Owen's young team really seemed to take it up a notch in the finals and won against Ranges to book a grand final berth.
Having played 2 less games and having a weeks break, the All Stars were the fresher side. However, the Mountain Tigers were more determined. In a game that was played in a competitive spirit and with the CR grade premiership on the line, the Mountain Tigers were never headed. In a real team effort they took the spoils. Well done boys.
And to show just how well he's doing, Owen was in the starting 5 for the grand final as well. Congratulations little buddy.
