A DOMINANT two quarters of football saw Millicent claim the Under 15 Western Border Football League premiership, with a 31-point win over South Gambier.
While the first term was an arm wrestle, the Saints managed to hold a slender four-point advantage at the first break.

From there Millicent stepped up its work rate, with three major scores to break the game open.
Jackson Devereux found one of his three goals late in the term for the Demons against the flow of play, but by the half-time break the margin had increased to 17 points, with a big job ahead of South.
Mid way through third quarter Millicent’s Jaden Grosser kicked a long goal to put the side further ahead and when Zac Bradley kicked another, the Millicent crowd erupted, knowing they were all-but home.
