The team scored 243 on day one of play, while opposition Rup-Minyip was bowled out for 170 on Sunday.

Wilson said a full team effort won the game for the Mudlarks.

‘‘Graeme Reddie was one of the best players in my mind. He got us off to a great start with the bat, bowled well and fielded well,’’ he said.

Umpires Glenn O’Beirne and Chris Whitcher agreed Reddie played well, but named his son, Shannon Reddie, man of the match.

Shannon made crucial lower-order runs for the Mudlarks, reaching 30 not out.

With the ball, he broke a partnership between Blue Panthers Blake Young and Jordan Tegelhunter, dismissing both of them.

Wilson said Shannon Reddie had an uneven season at times, but stepped up when it counted most.

‘‘It is fantastic. I think it meant a lot to Shannon and Graeme and the team as well,’’ he said.

‘‘For Graeme to win a premiership with his son is fantastic.’’

In Rup-Minyip’s innings, openers Matt Downer and Andrew Newell had a steady start, before Downer was caught leg before wicket by Wilson.

From there, Rup-Minyip lost wickets steadily.

Tegelhunter top-scored for the Blue Panthers with 35. 

When he was dismissed the team looked lost, with the score at 8-149.

Nicholas Hudson and Corey Morgan dug in for the Blue Panthers in the last wicket, but Morgan eventually skied a ball off the bowling of Brett McKenzie, which was caught by Graeme Reddie.

Rup-Minyip captain Downer said the Mudlarks had the edge over his team all season.

‘‘Credit to Lubeck-Murtoa, they bowled, batted and fielded well and you can’t take that away from them,’’ he said.

‘‘We dropped two catches on Saturday and I think that cost us probably 50 runs. Looking back that is probably what lost us the match.’’

Downer said the future was bright for Rup-Minyip, with plenty of young cricketers playing well.
