Jackas thirds win their first prelim final
"We've worked really hard, and have this crack at a premiership," Jackas premier thirds captain Zev Aron said.
In front of cheering fans in the Elsternwick Park stands last Sunday (August 24), AJAX Footy Club’s VAFA premier thirds men’s team overcame a poor start, and an even poorer preliminary final track record, to prevail by 12 points over St Bernards, and earn a spot in their first ever grand final in thirds footy.
“We definitely had a big celebration in the sheds afterwards, and we had such amazing support, cheering us on, which we’re very grateful for,” the team’s captain, Zev Aron, said.
“This is a huge first for us as a squad, as we’d been in that position [a preliminary final] quite a few times before, and lost.
“Actually, this was our sixth prelim final, and our third in a row, and now we’ve finally won one, and go through to a grand final.
“We’re pumped, and we’d love another big crowd this Sunday.”
