THE conditions were terrible but the result was terrific at Patersons Stadium on Sunday. West Perth's reserves won their first premiership in 54 years outslogging Subiaco. It was a tight contest all day with goals at a premium but a five-minute burst by the Falcons in the last quarter set up the victory. The league premiership last year was enjoyed by all but it would be fair to say that this premiership almost brought as much joy to the coaches, players and supporters.

WEST Perth kicked the only three goals of the final quarter to beat Subiaco by 14 points in the WAFL reserves grand final to end a drought that stretches way back to 1960.

The Falcons had not won a reserves premiership since 1960 and lost last year's grand final to South Fremantle, but finished the stronger over the minor premiers Subiaco on Sunday at Patersons Stadium to come away with the victory.

Subiaco had finished the season clear on top of the reserves ladder and had a massive percentage while scoring a thumping second semi-final win also over West Perth, but the Falcons finished the better in the wet conditions of the grand final.

WEST Perth has already had a tremendous week with Aaron Black winning the Sandover Medal and Aidan Lynch the Prendergast Medal, and now the Falcons' reserves have a chance at its first premiership since 1960.

West Perth takes on Subiaco in the reserves grand final at Patersons Stadium with the Falcons in their second straight reserves decider, and desperate for a first flag since 1960.

THE real West Perth reserves team stood up in the preliminary final against Claremont at Medibank Stadium on Sunday. Coach Paul Sanzone has done a terrific job to get them up after a disappointing second semi-final loss to Subiaco and they dominated all day to run out 68-point winners. The win has given this talented group the chance to break one of the longest premiership droughts in the WAFL with West Perth not having won a reserves premiership since 1960.

AARON Black has worked tirelessly to improve constantly throughout his 85-game WAFL career with West Perth and the 21-year-old was rewarded with the 2014 Sandover Medal on Monday night but even he was surprised at the result.

Black won the Sandover Medal for 2014 on Monday night polling 47 votes to win by one vote ahead of teammate Shane Nelson and former winner and pre-count favourite Luke Blackwell with Subiaco captain Kyal Horsley finishing on 45 votes and East Fremantle's Bradd Dalziell 43.

It was a thrilling vote count but in the end Black won after polling in the final eight games of the season and held on to win with Blackwell not polling a vote in Claremont's Round 23 victory over East Perth where most pundits had him close to best on ground, if not the best afield that day.

WEST Perth has its first Sandover Medal winner since 1993 with 21-year-old premiership star and rising midfielder Aaron Black taking out WA football's most prestigious individual award on Monday night.

And not only did Black end West Perth's drought of not having a winner of the WAFL's fairest and best player since 1993, but he very nearly shared the award with his premiership teammate and old school friend Shane Nelson who only finished one vote back.

Black finished the Sandover Medal vote count on 47 votes to be one ahead of Nelson who polled 46 votes.

WEST Perth's premiership drought of 10 years ended in 2013 and now the run of not having a Sandover Medal that has lasted since 1993 could come to an end this Monday night with Shane Nelson, Aaron Black and Rohan Kerr all likely to poll well.

West Perth's last Sandover Medal winner was Neil Mildenhall in 1993 just 12 months after Robbie West also won the award, but the Falcons haven’t had a winner since and have at least three players in contention this Monday night.

The 2011 Sandover Medal winner Luke Blackwell and last year's winner Rory O'Brien appear to be two players in the running to take out the award as the WAFL's fairest and best player for the second time, but there isn't a shortage of players that they will be contending with on the night.

West Perth's reserves were disappointed with their loss in the second semi-final to Subiaco and made an emphatic statement on Sunday with a 68-point thumping of Claremont at Medibank Stadium.

West Perth's 18.8 (116) to 7.6 (48) victory over Claremont in the preliminary final means that the Falcons will now take on Subiaco in the grand final with the aim of making up for last year's loss at Patersons Stadium to South Fremantle.

It was a big statement from West Perth as well given Claremont advanced to the preliminary final on the back of a thumping first semi-final victory over East Fremantle.
