With just 1 round to go of the Big V 2022 Regular season, there is still a lot to play for as finals approach. Check out how both our senior Big V teams went down below!
NAVEXA DIVISION 1 MEN
Our Big V Men have solidified their spot in the Big V Finals fixture with an impressive win over the Bulleen Boomers. Starting off hot the team jumped out to a quick 8-point advantage leading 23-15 at the quarter-time break. The Boomers fought back however as they regained some momentum to tie the game up at 39 apiece heading into the half.
The Rays kicked into gear once again as they held the Boomers to a 7-point quarter grabbing a 5-point advantage. In the final 10, the flood gates finally opened as the Rays connected on shot after shot, stifling the Bulleen offence to run away 17-point winners, allowing just 21 second-half points.
The team will now look to a very important game on Saturday night as they look to secure a home final against the very opponent they will match up with, the Bellarine Storm. Collecting a win will see them cruise into Sundayβs game against the Coburg Giants as they look to continue their momentum into the playoffs.
