The siblings, ex-Wodonga Raider Matt Neagle and Wodonga's Zac Burhop played in Ganmain Grong Grong Matong's sudden death win over Mangoplah-Cookardinia United-Eastlakes at Wagga's Robertson Oval on Sunday.
The Lions blitzed Mangoplah early and posted a 11.10 (76) to 5.16 (46) win.
Former Collingwood and Wodonga Raiders' player Sam Murray kicked a first quarter goal as the team which finished third after the shortened season bolted to a 25-point lead at quarter time.
The Goannas were only able to slightly reduce the margin to 23 points at half-time, with long-time Tallangatta and District and Hume league star forward Trent Castles missing chances.
The classy Murray brothers started to make an impact in the third term with Sam playing well in the midfield, while Nick took a strong mark and kicked a goal as the favourites raced up a 39-point lead heading into the final term.
