Garfield-Tynong (176) def. Jindivick (169)
Having been embarrassed in the division four grand final last summer, Garfield-Tynong were on a quest to atone in season 204/25.

And the Titans put those memories to rest on Saturday, sealing a seven-run win over Jindivick that saw them raise the premiership cup.
Like many games over the weekend for large parts there were no clear winners, as the Titans began with a flurry – Hayden Porter (4/27 from 19) removing Tobias Hart and Matthew Cheshire without scoring – before a middle order recovery from the Jumping Jacks transformed proceedings.
Rod Huma (who capped off an excellent summer with a gritty 20 opening up), Rory Payne (34 from 73) and Robert Wind (a boundary-laden 47) at one stage looked set to carry Jindivick into a position of strength.
But Porter and Darren Van Den Berghe (who snared a stunning haul of 5/33 from 15.5 overs) maintained discipline and kept attacking the stumps, and their determined salvo eventually paid off.
Once Payne – who holed out down the ground to Isaac Braaksma – and Wind (out edging behind) departed run-scoring became all the more difficult.
The odd boundary flowed from the bat but despite this the pressure still steadily built – on both sides.
Luke Hume (10), Andrew Pyle (14), and Dale Vincent (19*) did their best with inspired cameos, and their endeavours helped take the game deep into the afternoon.
With just a handful of overs remaining the required runs weren't the hindrance; it was the wicket tally.
Each batter had to weigh up risk vs reward when looking to score – and it seemed as though Jindivick might have solved the equation late.
However, the ability of Van Den Berghe to force the batters into playing at each ball proved too much to overcome and with his fifth scalp, the veteran all-rounder sealed a nail-biting victory for the Titans, with Pyle and William Stevenage removed in quick succession; Jindivick dismissed for 169 in the 68th over.
