The Panthers defeated Kangaroo Flat by 29 shots in Saturday's grand final to earn a berth in the premier division for the 2022-23 season at the expense of this season's wooden spooner Bendigo.

Marong grabbed an early lead over the Roos and never looked in trouble as it cruised to a well-deserved flag.

It was a double celebration for the Panthers, with the club's division five team also winning the premiership.

The division one grand final will be played at Bendigo East on Sunday, with Eaglehawk favoured to defeat reigning premier South Bendigo.
