Relive the Suns' maiden mens flag, Lions' roaring home in AFL South Coast grand final

Shellharbour City Suns won their club’s first men’s premiership in the AFL South Coast, capping a 15-year wait with a dominant 12.9 (81) to 7.6 (48) victory over the Wollongong Lions in Saturday’s premier division grand final at North Dalton Park. The minor premiers led 12-7 after a low-scoring first quarter, but surged in the second, outscoring Wollongong 34-1. The Lions fought back with a 27-7 third term and trailed by 18 entering the final quarter, yet the Suns steadied and won the last term 28-13. Suns player-coach Jordan Pidgeon highlighted the win with his younger brother Braydan, and Dominic Michalak was named best-on-ground.
