Match Reviews | It has taken 23 years, but Nyah Nyah West United is back at number one in the Radio 3SH-backed senior footy competition across the Central Murray.

The NNWU Demons dominated Saturday’s grand final clash with Kerang at Alan Garden Reserve in Swan Hill.

By the final siren the Demons led 106-52 against the Blues who were gunning for a premiership hat-trick.

The grand finalists met just once across the home-and-away series in which Kerang marked a 66-55 victory on its turf at Riverside Park in round eight.

Grand final day capped a remarkable run by the Jason Murphy and Nic O’Neill-coached Demons.

After back-to-back grand final wins in 2000 and ’01, Nyah Nyah West United did not play on that one day in September until 2016.

Eight years ago it was Kerang which beat the Demons by 39 points.

The Troy Coates-coached Kerang ended this season’s home-and-away series on a win-loss record of 14-1 and a draw to hold spot.

NNWU’s tally of 12-4 included defeats in rounds 15 and 18 against Mallee Eagles and Cohuna Kangas.

A 64-68 loss to Mallee in the qualifying final meant it would be a tough run for the Demons to make a grand final, let alone win it.
