TARRAWINGEE Football Club is celebrating its first flag in 18 years after defeating Bright in the Ovens and King league grand final on Saturday.

The Bulldogs burst out of the blocks in the first quarter, piling on five goals to Bright's one.

Stephen Pickering booted three goals in the club's drought-breaking victory, while the league's leading goalkicker Brendan Sessions was held to two.

The Bulldogs made the most of the traditional ``premiership quarter'', slotting six goals to one in the third term to put the result beyond doubt.

Final scores were Tarrawingee 14.10 (94) to Bright 8.11 (59).

And they're all halal.
