The Two Blues dominated after quarter-time, kicking 18 goals to three, to compound Coleambally’s tough season with a staggering 19.11 (125) to 5.11 (41) scoreline.

“It was fantastic to get a win on the board,” co-coach Matt Irvin said. “We’ve been a long time working towards it, that was for sure.”

Barellan kicked eight goals in the second quarter and finished off with nine, but the margin might have blown out to triple figures if they’d kicked better than 1.8 in the third quarter.

Forward, and new father, James McCabe had an outstanding game, finishing with five goals as well as rotating through the middle.

“He was definitely our best-on-ground, he took some really good marks and his ball use around the ground was great,” Irvin said.

Across half-back, Matt Bernasconi was also influential, taking plenty of intercepts and setting them up to go forward.

But the comprehensive win was as much the result of how far their teammates have come this year.

“There was no real secret, we just had more contributors,” former coach Will Overs said.

“Everyone played their role. It was reward for effort. We’ve been chipping away at it for a while now so it’s good to get a result in our favour.

“And not just reward for the players but for the community as well.”

Barellan’s win sets up a huge game at Peter Hastie Oval next week, as they travel to take on CSU – the only other team they've had a win against since returning to the league at the start of 2015.

Coleambally face the daunting task of trying to stop North Wagga next week.

The win on Saturday will help the side take confidence into that match, as well as the remainder of the season. 

It has been a long season for the Two Blues, but the potential has always been there for the team.
