CRT Sept 728x90

Gippsland FNLMatch Review | The Gippsland League is set for a rematch of last year's grand final after Traralgon ran their way past Moe in Saturday's preliminary final.

Leongatha now awaits a chance for revenge over the reigning premiers, who put their pace to use to push past the Lions 13.16 (94) to 8.13 (61).

Traralgon were in front for the vast majority of the day, building an early lead before holding Moe at arm's length for the rest of the match, despite the Lions' best efforts.

The Maroons' speed with ball in hand has been a hallmark of their game for a while now and the expanses of Sale Oval saw them put it to use once again, outrunning and eventually overrunning their opposition.

The Lions were left wanting for leg speed throughout the afternoon, getting cut up on transition on several occasions as the Maroons' trademark slingshot worked wonders.

Perhaps the play that best summarised the match came in the second term when Moe superstar goalkicker Ben Crocker marked inside 50 and took a step off his line before changing his mind.
