Torquay rebounded from its second semi-final loss to win consecutive Bellarine Football League premierships at Leopold today.

Torquay had the game won early in the contest to run out 16.17(113) to 7.9(51) against Anglesea.

The Tigers slammed on 10 goals in a breathtaking third quarter to take a match-winning 77-point lead into the last term.

The blistering burst came after a goalless second quarter.

Anglesea fought the game out with five goals in the final term, but the damage had well and truly been done.

Chase Loftus was massive for Torquay while Jesse Dawson booted five goals.

Clay Page booted three for the winners and Charlie Ham and star mid Blake Mensch were terrific.

For Anglesea Max Virgona, Ash Caldwell (two goals), Jordan Keras battled hard.

It was double delight for Torquay by winning the reserves grand final by 30 points against Geelong Amateur.

A six goal second term set up the win with Luke Wittman booting five goals up forward while Cooper Heard was instrumental.

Ammos were well served by Patrick Ryan who also kicked two majors.
