HOPPERS Crossing capped off its near-perfect season with a 12.11. (83) to 4.9. (33) victory, winning its second consecutive Division 1 Reserves premiership.
Losing just one game all year, the Warriors once again proved why they finished the season on top of the ladder.
A five goal to zero first quarter showed that Hoppers meant business.
Despite only adding two more majors in the second term, the Warriors were able to hold the Lions to just one goal in the first term.
The game was all but wrapped up in the third term, as Hoppers Crossing kicked another three goals, extending its lead to 51-points heading into the last quarter of the season.
The final term was filled with turnovers, as neither side could take control.
Deer Park won the term (2.3 to 2.2), but it was too little too late.
The players and fans let out a huge roar as the siren rang out across Whitten Oval, with players running from all parts of the field to celebrate together.
The 50-point win gave the Warriors their second consecutive premiership in the Division 1 Reserves.
