After 18 Rounds of the regular season and four rounds of finals the TIO NTFL Season has come to a close with the grand finals on March 19 at TIO Stadium and Gardens Oval.
A fantastic season saw the merger of the TEAFA and NTFL competition into the new three division competition which was a resounding success with four original TEAFA teams playing off in the Grand Finals at the weekend.
A crowd in excess of 8000 passed through the gates of TIO Stadium and Garden Oval to watch all the grand finals which puts it second on the all time attendance records for NTFL Grand Finals in history.
After a season of inconsistency the Wanderers Football Club ended the St Marys reign at the top of the NT football tree, defeating them in the TIO NTFL Seatbelts Save Lives Premier League Grand Final by 28 points with speedster Aaron Motlop taking out the Chaney Medal for Best on Ground in the Grand Final.
