PARADE College has gone one step closer to defending its Herald Sun Shield title after defeating Padua College in yesterday’s Division 1 senior boys semi-final. The Raiders stormed home with a wet sail at Trevor Barker Beach Oval, booting seven final quarter goals to win by 118 points, 20.18 (138) to 3.2 (20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While scores flowed at Parade’s end, Padua’s tally remained fixed at 2.2 (14) from quarter time to over halfway through the final term. Dandenong Stingrays talent Harrison Doughton<\/a> broke Parade’s streak of 14 goals, though it proved far too little and late for the Southern Independent Schools (SIS) outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angus Smith<\/strong> filled his boots with a game-high five majors for the victors, while Northern Knights trio Kristian Lawson<\/a> (three goals), Jordyn Gillard<\/a> and Riley Ormerod<\/a> (both two) also hit the scoreboard. Parade was without top-age stars Tom Sims<\/a> and Zak Johnson<\/a>, who are expected to return for the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result marked Padua’s first loss for the year, having gone through the SIS season undefeated at 5-0. Parade repeated its victory over the Mornington school from last year’s semi-final, which saw the Bundoora-based powerhouse get up by 63 points en route to claiming ultimate glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parade will next take on Emmanuel College in the Herald Sun Shield Grand Final, after the Warrnambool school defeated Ballarat Grammar by two points in a thriller at DSV Stadium. Trailing by four points in the final minute, Charlie McKinnon<\/a> proved the hero with a goal to send his team through to the decider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grand final takes place on Wednesday August 14 at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne, with the first bounce at 12:30pm. It follows the intermediate boys decider between Western Heights College and St Kevin\u2019s (10:30am), who defeated St Patrick\u2019s and Parade College in their respective semi-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
