The lead changed hands ten times in the last quarter before the final possession saw Tom Daly draw two defenders along the baseline, kicking it to Allen who was open at the top of the key. The game-winner follows on from last year’s Conference Final, when the 211cm centre also beat Nunawading on the buzzer with a three pointer. Out-muscling Auryn MacMillan (16 points, 13 rebounds), Damian Johnson (15 and 15 with 4 blocks) and Brad Hill (18 and 11) controlled the inside, helping Mt. Gambier to a 13-4 advantage in second chance points. MacMillan has had an excellent finals series but received little support from the likes of Tim Lang although Kyle Adnam impressed with 18 points. Having survived a major scare in the Conference Final for two consecutive seasons, the Pioneers will now be seeking redemption after their loss in the 2013 Grand Final.
