DORCOL COMPLETE HISTORIC QUADRUPLE

16 Nov 2015

Serbian champion club Dorcol created more history when they regained the title with a 50-34 win over Partizan at FC Radnicki Novi Beograd Stadium; their 13th win in 14 SRL Grand Finals seeing them become the first side to win all four available trophies.
 
 With the Super Cup, Serbian Cup and 9s championship already secured, Dorcol avenged their only defeat in a championship final to Red Star last year in a terrific, highly entertaining clash.
 
 Partizan threw everything at us but I'm proud of my team mates because they stood up, held their nerve and brought the title back home, said Dorcol captain Dalibor Vukanovic, who was again a stand out performer, finishing with 18 points from a try and seven goals.
 
The sides were level 18-all at the break, Partizan showing few nerves in their first Grand Final, twice taking the lead with converted tries from hooker Branko Carapic and loose forward Darko Abidinovic. Both times Dorcol levelled, before international Stevan Stevanovic burst through the 25th minute gave them the lead, but the sides were all-square again at the break thanks to Pavle Vojinovic's try and a goal from Partizan skipper David Jasari.
 
 The game was won in the 20 minutes after half time when Dorcol ran in four tries, two in seven minutes to prop Relja Petrovic, to establish a 40-18 lead on the hour. Partizan staged a tremendous comeback with three touchdowns in response, to cut the deficit to only four points.
 
 But the black and white's couldn't complete the comeback and late scores to Andrej Mora and a second to centre Radovan Tajsic secured Dorcol their historic win.
