Season VII Premiers- Sale Greyhound Club

In their 7th season, yet first Grand Final appearance, the Sale Greyhounds have taken out the premiership title in the most EPIC of fashions getting over Avon Timber 65-64.

It was a Glenn Gocotano 3 that put the Dogs in front in the dying moments of the game, and the first time they had taken the lead all game, after starting with a rough 5-26 deficit in the first quarter.

Dylan O'Shanassy took out the Grand Final MVP on the back of his 37 point performance, while Mitchell Victoria Bitter Leeds (14/19/5) and Andrew Quirk (21/6/3) shone for Avon Timber.

Randy Sanchez Sauce Co. 3pt Contest winner was taken out by Jherson Rullan, going 6 of 15 in the qualifiers and 8 of 15 in the final. He took home the sauces, and made his Mum proud while doing it.
