Yindarra defeated Garangula in the final of the 2008 Kerry packer Challenge Cup by 10-6Yindarra hit the Ellerston home field running. After the 3rd minute of the 1st chukka they were ahead by 3 goals to 0. This lead was never reeled in by Garangula though they held their own for the rest of the game. Ruki Ballieu and Rob Archibald played very well and combined to score may of their goals. The MVP Ed Hinchman, the scorer of the 1st goal of the game, was outstanding in defence and attack and had several blinding runs the length of the field only to leave the glory shot for one of his team members. JP and Simon attacked at every opportunity and Jack Archibald was not intimidated to be out there against Australias highest rated player, Ruki, and his bother, Rob, and he mixed it with the big boys and came out the other side holding his head high. He and Rob had several clashes which i am sure rattled theirs, and their parents teeth who were watching on hoping both the boys could be winners on the day.
