Both sides started the match with 10 players, with Brighouse benefitting from two late arrivals to give them one sub for the match.

The breakthrough came early in the first half when Andrew Pansini delivered a pinpoint corner kick to the head of Murray McCloskey, who drilled it into the goal on the back post.

Soon after, McCloskey returned from the subs bench and within minutes set up an assist to Mark Brouff who slotted in his fourth goal of the season.

Brighouse went to the break 2-0 up, with the second half played in warm conditions on a dry, bouncy pitch.

Pansini created his second assist of the game when he put the ball through for striker Roland Gruneis to run onto and finish off, giving the home side a 3-0 full time score line.

Meanwhile in B-Grade, CYMS Green go into Saturday's B-Grade grand final full of confidence after a 4-0 win over minor premiers Kinross.

Due to the cancelled snow weekend round in August, CYMS have only played decider opponents Barnies Beyond Blue once this season, a match-up they won 1-nil.

A single goal late in the second half from Waratahs Over 35s that was all that separated Barnies United from the grand final.

A change of strategy to park the bus in the wake of 5-0 defeat two weeks ago kept Denley Moor in the contest against Blayney.

A chip over the keeper's head by Denley winger Harley Smith gave his side the early lead, before Dylan Connelly equalised.

Denley midfield Dan Hillier blasted the ball into the back of the net over a Nick Hyndes assist only for Jessie Wright to level for Blayney from a penalty.

With the game locked at two-all at half time, it took a rush of goals in succession from Will Morley, Ray Matheson and Brad Timbs to hand Blayney the win.

The uncanny ability of Denley striker Richie Shields to notch a hat trick of finding both posts and the cross bar, rather than the net, added some extra spice and tension to the result.
