Jackas lose tight Premier C grand final to Sharks
Having earned promotion to men's Premier B next season, AJAX lost the 2025 Premier C decider by 21 points.
A red hot start last Sunday at Trevor Barker Beach Oval in the VAFA men’s Premier C grand final by premiership favourites the Beaumaris Sharks, saw them establish a 17-point lead that proved too difficult to claw back for a determined, brave, but depleted AJAX outfit last Sunday.
In front of a big crowd despite the intermittent drizzle, a Jackas squad missing key injured players Maor Chrapot, Benji Krongold and co-captain Corey Zielinski – and featuring eight players aged under 21 – matched the Sharks for the remainder of the game.
The Jackas would have won the second quarter if not for a goal scored by the Sharks after the siren, but before the umpire blew his whistle.
Whenever the Sharks got 30 or more points in front, the Jackas fought back.

The third quarter was tied, and the Sharks won the last quarter by just a point, to prevail by 12.9 (81) to 8.12 (60).
