Rushworth kicked off the KDL grand final with the first flag of the day, rolling through Girgarre 59-27 in the 15-and-under decider.
It wasn’t the grand final many expected after both teams combined to oust unbeaten Tallygaroopna in straight sets on their way to the final, but when it came down to the flag push, Rushworth was clinical.
The Tigers were rarely troubled in the decider, rushing out to a 16-5 lead by quarter time.
Defensively Rushy were incredibly disruptive, led by best on court Kade Starling, who was active in the passing lanes throughout as the Tigers rushed to a 33-14 advantage at the main break.
There was no turnaround later in the game and the Tigers secured the win 59-27.
