Match Report ("Advocate", 4th September, 1978)
The Yeoman camp was already celebrating during the senior game after winning the seconds flag against Cuprona. The Robins led throughout but won the match in the third term with a five goal burst.
They received great drive from O'Connor, who finished with four goals, Lucas Maynard on a wing, Bloomfield and Joseph.
Cuprona after a hard pre-final against Natone last week could not match the Robins' pace and teamwork. Taylor, Wilton and Dennis battled hard but the Bulldogs fell down in the key positions.
