It was the perfect ending to a great season for Jets players Dylan Oaff, Campbell Milgate, Will Broucek and Shane Broucek, with the quartet finishing on top of the ladder.
The Jets knocked off the second-placed Pissheads in the qualifying final, before besting them for a second time in the decider to earn the premiership.

In B-grade, the Misfits fired their way to victory over the Terrors in a nailbiter, winning six legs to five.
The Terrors finished fourth in the B-grade section, but defeated Echuca in an elimination final before topping the first-place 26ers a week later to reach the finale.
But there, the Misfits team of Luke Shields, Tom Collins, Calhoun Burt, Dallas Barnstable and Luke Thompson held off the Terrors in a tight encounter to claim the title.
The Misfits had a surprise 6-4 win in the qualifying final over the 26ers to reach the decider, narrowly edging out the Terrors.
