CLARENCE bottom-age talents, Noah Holmes<\/strong>, Sam Banks<\/strong> and Darcy Gardner<\/strong> have dominated the Sports Association of Tasmanian Independent Schools (SATIS) Grand Final, steering their school Guilford Young College to a memorable come-from-behind 22-point victory over St Patrick’s College at Twin Ovals, the college’s first title since 2002.<\/p>\n

Whilst St Patrick’s was missing bustling key forward and co-captain Jackson Callow<\/strong>, Guilford Young was also without fellow AFL Draft Combine invitee and Academy member Patrick Walker<\/strong>. It meant the remaining AFL Academy members – Oliver Davis<\/strong>, Sam Collins<\/strong> and Banks – ran out for the winners, while a host of developing talents including Holmes, North Hobart’s George McLeod<\/strong>, and Clarence’s Baker Smith<\/strong> also impressed in the win. For St Patrick’s the players to watch coming into the match were Oliver Sanders<\/strong> and Isaac Hyatt<\/strong> who had both had impressive showings at Tasmanian State League (TSL) level lately.<\/p>\n

Despite not possessing the majority of state league talent and missing Callow as a target up forward, it was St Patrick’s that took an early lead into quarter time. Guilford Young owned forward half possession, but missed a few chances and it took until Lincoln Arnold<\/strong> kicked a great goal off the hands of Davis to register the first major of the game. Six minutes later, Declen Chugg<\/strong> put through a running goal and his effort was matched 90 seconds later by captain Bailey Gillow<\/strong> who made no mistake.<\/p>\n

The Hobart-based side came out firing early in the second term as Lachlan Rowlands<\/strong> capitalised from the set shot, but it was all St Patricks from there. The green and gold side piled on four of the next five goals, with Chugg kicking a second, while Oliver Chugg<\/strong>, Zach Morris<\/strong> and Angus Jeffries<\/strong> all capitalised with majors. Only ruckman playing the role of rover, Ryan Hapka<\/strong> managed to get one against the momentum, roving Holmes’ marking contest in the square midway through the term to capitalise with quick thinking.<\/p>\n

Trailing by 14 points at half-time, Guilford Young needed something special, and that someone was Holmes who booted five of the last six goals of the game. The bottom-age contested marking specialist missed a few chances in the first half, but he was kicking them from everywhere in the second, as he and Arnold (second goal) made the opposition pay. His five goals proved a match winner and he was clearly the best on ground to help Guilford Young to its first SATIS title in 18 years.<\/p>\n

Holmes finished with 14 disposals, eight marks – six contested – and 5.3 on the day, with Banks racking up a ridiculous 34 disposals, six marks, six clearances and six inside 50s. Gardner also impressed with 21 touches, four clearances, six tackles and seven inside 50s, while McLeod played a consistent four-quarter game with 24 disposals, six marks – one contested – three clearances, three inside 50s and five rebounds. Smith proved a rock down back with multiple intercept marks (six total, four contested), as well as 16 touches, four inside 50s and two rebounds. Davis worked hard and was often gang-tackled on the inside to finish with 16 disposals, five clearances, three inside 50s and two tackles.<\/p>\n

For St Patrick’s, Jeffries was busy with 24 disposals, six marks, seven clearances, two inside 50s and a goal as the losing side’s best, while Sanders helped himself to 23 disposals, eight marks, six clearances, five inside 50s and four rebounds. Sam Foley<\/strong> tried hard in defence often getting in Holmes’ way to pick up 12 disposals, four marks, five rebounds and three tackles. Morris had 12 disposals, five marks – three contested – two inside 50s and a goal for the losers, while Michael Stringel<\/strong> (10 disposals, four inside 50s and three tackles) was also impressive.<\/p>\n
