Toowoomba Grammar Junior continues to build their primary Australian Rules credentials after securing back to back titles in the boys Brisbane Lions Cup.
Grammar recorded their second title win in impressive fashion, going through the carnival day undefeated. Our Lady of the Southern Cross College was their biggest threat with the four-time champions testing the 'Ting Tongs' in the opening clash of the day.
But this was the closest any school was to get to the Grammar boys, with the 'Ting Tongs' defeating OLOSCC by 15-points, followed by 7-goal victories over Our Lady of Lourdes and Concordia Primary.
With Grammar going through undefeated, they were guaranteed a place in the finals and rivals OLOSCC from Dalby finished with 2 wins and able to book a place against Toowoomba Grammar. Our Lady of Lourdes finished the round robin stages in 3rd place with 1 victory, while Concordia weren't able to record a victory but had their chances against OLOL and OLOSCC.
Concordia finished the day on a high with their first victory for the carnival coming in the final game of the day, winning by four-points and claiming 3rd place for the Brisbane Lions Cup.
It was a tight tussle in the opening exchanges of the Grand-Final between arch rivals Toowoomba Grammar and Our Lady of the Southern Cross College, with either side not giving an inch.
The hard running and smart play by Grammar Junior in the second quarter set up the back-to-back title, as the Grammar boys piled on 4 unanswered goals. With the lead out to 5-goals after the main break, OLOSCC held their own and made the Ting Tongs work hard for the second half.
Dalby's OLOSCC finished the game off with a goal but the damage was already done as Toowoomba Grammar secured their second Brisbane Lions Cup with an impressive 9.13 (67) - 2.1 (13) victory.
Toowoomba Grammar will now represent the Darling Downs at the SEQ Brisbane Lions Cup finals in Brisbane.
Our Lady of Lourdes may have finished 4th but didn't walk away empty handed as rising star and Toowoomba Tigers junior Bailey Erdmann took out the boys division Most Valuable Player by 2votes ahead of a three way tie for runner-up.
