Sandy Bay
It was during the 1970s, however, that the Sandy Bay Football Club really came into its own, embarking on a sustained period of dominance that few TFL clubs ever matched. Sandwiched in between third place finishes in 1970 and 1979 the Seagulls contested eight consecutive grand finals for five wins and three losses. Especially towards the end of this period the side was well nigh indomitable.
