Buccaneers claim title
By Nick Wade
GEELONG’S Bay City Buccaneers are Junior Vic Bowl champions after pulling off a stunning upset over undefeated Croydon Rangers in Sunday’s grand final.
The Buccaneers, who lost twice to the high-scoring Rangers during the season, held their nerve in a defensive struggle to win 16 to 14, with only a two-point conversion separating the sides.
The Buccaneers scored on their opening offensive drive and then returned an interception for a touchdown, which opened up an early 16-0 lead, a lead they never surrendered.
Central to Bay City’s victory was a revamped offence that the Rangers had not seen all year.
The Buccaneers used this new offence to beat Berwick Miners in the semi final.
Tom Bean was named Most Valuable Player for his efforts at quarter back, running back and line backer.
Your Say
“Congratulations boys!!! One of the best upset wins this year! Well done Buccs on an awesome year!!”
The Buccaneers have now completed the championship double in 2011 after the senior side also defeated the Rangers earlier in the year.
The Buccaneers are starting their recruiting campaign now with the hope of entering two senior teams next season in both the Gridiron Victoria division one and two competitions.
