Inglewood reached the Loddon Valley Football Netball League milestone premiership trifecta by winning the A,B and C-grade grand finals in the same year.
In the A-grade division Inglewood defeated BL Serpentine.
"With tight defence by both teams, Inglewood's accurate goaling saw them open up a 4 goal lead which they managed to hold for most of the match," Inglewood FNC secretary David Rose said.
"BL Serpentine fought to the end, however Inglewood held on to win the match by a single goal."
In the B-grade division Inglewood defeated Calivil.
"Inglewood took a 5 goal lead by quarter time against Calivil, and they continued to lead comfortably for the entire match, winning 48 to 39," Rose said.
"The Premiership came the hard way after Inglewood had just managed to scrape into the finals in fourth position."
In the C-grade division Inglewood defeated Marong.
"The contest against Marong was tight for the entire match, until Inglewood broke away in the final term to win 31 to 28," Rose said.
