Kyabram wins Goulburn Valley League grand final

The Murray Bombers put up a good fight, but in the end were never in the same weight division as a Kyabram outfit with the pain of its only loss since the 2015 decider seared into the back of its brain.

Eventually the margin of victory settled at 22 points, giving the Bombers a remarkable three undefeated seasons in four years and drawing to a close the illustrious coaching career of Paul Newman.

For their respective parts in the triumph, Pat Wearden (AFL Vic Country), Jake Reeves (Wilf Cox) and Mick Mattingly (Barry Connolly) claimed extra medals during the presentations.

But this was, from top to bottom, a genuine team effort from the best team in GVL memory - living or otherwise.
