Wests Scarborough have claimed their second straight Pindan Premier Grade title, edging out Associates 27-15.
The reigning premiers scored 27 unanswered points in a breathtaking 60 minutes, with Associates flying out of the barriers to open up a 15-0 lead.
Soaks fans had Michael Hardwick and Brendan Owen to thank for that, the former scoring from a superb cutout pass and the latter dancing his way through defenders to find the line.
Wests put some runs on the board through a Ryan Burge try just over halfway through the first term, the initial break created by a big run from star flanker Kane Koteka.

They finally put their noses in front when Jordan Luke touched down in the left hand corner, with 20 left on the clock.
