Congratulations to the Melbourne Unicorns Premier 3 and Premier 4 teams who both won their Grand Finals in 2015. The Unicorns Women’s team went agonisingly close, but in the end had to be satisfied with Minor Premiers and Runners Up in 2015.

The Melbourne Unicorns Premier 3 team played in their sixth consecutive Grand Final – an amazing achievement. Congratulations to Luke Daley, Michael Brown and Michael Gillard for keeping this team together. Great effort to come away with their fifth Premiership and the Minor Premiership for 2015.

The Melbourne Unicorns Premier 4 team played Powerhouse and started the day with the underdog title as they had lost all their previous encounters this year to Powerhouse. Super Coach Tim Nesbitt strategically planned the tactics to ensure they won back-to-back titles.

The Melbourne Unicorns Women’s Team fought valiantly to the end in the 2015 Grand Final, but fell short by a single try to claim the Runners up Flag. The Women’s team also won the Minor Premiership for 2015.
