COFFS Harbour Breakers have now claimed every senior premiership title, after winning the AFL North Coast reserves grand final.

The Breakers took out the season decider with a hard-fought 4.5 (29) to 2.4 (16) win against Northern Beaches/Nambucca Valley at C.ex Coffs International Stadium.

It is the club’s first reserve grade premiership since entering the competition in 2015.

Captain Ryan Bennett said it had a long time coming, with the Breakers losing six grand finals prior to this year’s victory.

“It’s been a goal we’ve had for a long time, and I was privileged enough to do it with one of my best mates as coach,” he said.

“We banded together and they are a good group of guys, so it was good just to get out there and just put together what we knew we could do as a team.”

The Breakers captain explained what made his side so successful this season.

“I just think we have a lot of key players in our forwards, mids, and backs – just in good areas to be able to shut down all the other team’s best players.

“As well as that, we just had a really good group that gelled really well.

“We are great mates off the field and I think that helps.”

Malcolm Trotter was awarded the medal for best on ground.
