A look back at the full decider in 1997. Elliston were 1995 premiers, Central Eyre 1996 premiers, a battle royale to decide who were kings of Mid West! Top two in season 1997, Elliston having won through to the Grand Final first, a three point thriller at Wirrulla in the 2nd Semi Final, Elliston 12.12 = 84 def Centrals 12.9 = 81, and Centrals having to overcome Wirrulla in the Preliminary Final to set up this re match.
Two class sides, both boasting Mortlock and Eyre Peninsula representatives. Great crowd and tough conditions, but a game for the ages.
Thankyou to Jack May for the video and Roy Rogers for his work in digitalising and presenting it.
Filmed by Ron Campbell, and commentators Justin (Juddy) Mc Cormack & Matthew Patterson do an excellent job calling the action.
