Just two minutes into the second half, Sheridan soared above his opponent to reel in a towering Ferris bomb and plant the ball over the line. Glen 20 - 6.

All game long, Glen’s short kicking game in the slippery conditions had put Tingha under pressure and in the 55th minute it produced maximum points.

Jones chased a grubber kick through and the last line of Tingha defence spilled the ball. Lock Jamie Watts neatly plucked the ball out of the slush and charged 35 minutes to cross in the corner. The Tingha defence had dropped off and Watts was able to bring the ball around under the posts for the simple conversion. Glen 26 - 6.

Four minutes later, Tingha’s Justin McIlwain scored out wide to narrow the gap slightly but Glen was soon back on the attack. Ferris made a neat break and was tackled by Paul Leitinger. Ferris played the ball but then he and Leitinger began trading blows. Players from both sides became involved in the melee as Watts raced across under the posts.

When order was restored, Leitinger was sin-binned by referee Peter Watt. Two cans were thrown onto the field and Tingha claimed one of the cans struck a Tigers player, although plenty of Glen players say he sustained the injury during the brawl.

Tingha left the field and the referee called the game. Tigers players did not attend the presentation of trophies.

The incident is currently under investigation by Group 19 Management committee. Plenty of videos were in operation at the time and the hope is that one of them will be able to identify the culprit or culprits.

Jason Ferris and Sam Key had outstanding games for Glen as did Jamie Watts who won the official Player of the Grand Final award. Glen’s forwards dominated the ruck area in the heavy conditions with Dave Stanfield, Shad Bailey and Jake Chard making good ground throughout. James Sheridan was excellent while Mark Muggleton was his usual dependable self and made several high pressure takes under the high ball.
