Sunbury Football Club player Greg Hay has been a solid contributor in the VCFL U/19's victory over the VAFA on Sunday at Sportscover Arena in Melbourne.

In very tricky conditions, the VCFL clearly won the contest at every change to retain the Under 19 Challenge Cup.

The VCFL ran out 50 point winners at Sportscover Arena in front of a large and appreciative crowd from both the country and the city.
The VCFL led by 20 points at half time and had certainly won the battle in the heavily contested match, transferring play from defense to attack with better precision and flair.

The Ammos came out full of run after the half time break and got within 4 points before the VCFL boys steadied into the breeze to lead by 11 points at the last break.

The last quarter saw the floodgates open with the VCFL boys kicking 6 goals and keeping the VAFA goalless with dogged defense and excellent run and spread.

Nathan Muratore from Gembrook was awarded the Peter Knights Medal for best player for the VCFL after an impressive performance in a very tight and well balanced backline for the VCFL.

Matt Tabener from Myrtleford was awarded the Best Player Award from the VAFA coaching panel. Tabener was the dominant forward in the match, taking a number of towering marks in the forward line and kicking 3 goals.
