Coreen League - 1909 to 2007 thanks for the memories

Rennie Football Ground 2007

The Final Coreen & District Football Netball Grandfinal was held yesterday 15th Sptember 2007 bringing to a close 98 years of celebrated history.

Yesterdays last grandfinal attracted around 4,000 fans who unfortunately had to witness an extremely one sided match. Coreen-Daysdale-Hopefield-Buraja United Saints 24.19 (163) destroyed Billabong (Urana-Oaklands) Crows 8.2 (50). The game was all over at the end of the first quarter with CDHBU holding a 50 point lead 7.9 (51) to 0.1. (1). The Crows scored the first two goals of the second quarter but that was about the closest they got for the remainder of the game.

Thankfully there was still around 3,000 people at the end of the game to say goodbye.

2008.... Wahgunyah Tigers are off to the Tallangatta & District Football League, Jerilderie Demons are of to join their neighbours in the Picola & District League, leaving CDHBU, Billabong Crows, Rennie Hoppers and Coleambally Blues hopefully obtaining admission to the nearby Hume Football League.

More Video highlights of the Grandfinal will be posted on Youtube very soon.
