The Cats eclipsed Ulverstone after setting the foundation with a nine-goal first quarter.

It was the biggest winning margin in the 28-year history of the NTFL and bettered the previous record of 107 points set by the Burnie Dockers against Devonport a decade ago.

Sharman kicked the first of his eight goals three minutes into the game and it was the sign of better things to come as the afternoon unfolded.

Sharman told his teammates a few days ago that yesterday would be his last game.

The 35-year-old has had an outstanding career with Clarence and Wynyard and this year topped the NTFL goalkicking with 115 goals despite missing five games.

In the after-match presentations NTFL president Andrew Richardson described Wynyard as "clearly showing all year that they were the superior team in the competition" and they followed the script to perfection yesterday.

Coach Errol Bourn said it was an unbelievable day and was full of praise for his players.

"I don't think there was anyone that was going to stop us," he said.

Bourn wrote his own name into the record books becoming the first coach to win premierships at two NTFL clubs.

He also led the Burnie Dockers in the last of their five-peat in 2005.

Bourn took over this year from Tom Robinson and set about cleverly recruiting to add to an already dangerous list and he had a multitude of riches to call on yesterday.

Everything went smoothly for the Cats from when co-captain Zac Smith won the toss and kicked with a healthy breeze to the southern end.

Wynyard had slammed on eight goals before Ulverstone had registered its first score and the only bump in the road for the Cats came when Sharman fell awkwardly after flying for a mark and spent an extended time on the interchange bench after injuring his right leg.

He returned late in the second quarter and went about his task of leading to the ball where he was on the receiving end of some deadly midfield passes.

Sharman's accurate long kicking was another feature of the day.

Wynyard's engine room worked on all cylinders led by ruckman Sam Douglas, Smith, Bryce Haneveer and Rhys Phillips.

Co-captain Zane Murphy, who had been in doubt for the game, started on the interchange bench but soon showed why he is one of the most dangerous players in Tasmania.

Several times he burst through packs and, with his familiar "don't argue" style, pushed opposition players aside to put his team forward.

On two separate occasions he showed his strength to get the ball to Sharman and Nick Pearce who converted.

It was a game the Robins would prefer to forget as they were outscored as each quarter went by.

Too often their overuse of the ball meant they failed to hit targets and Wynyard was quick to pounce on any mistakes.

Jeremy Soden was a leading light for the Robins as he continually picked up possessions and he had support from Tim Mee and Trent McCrossen.

Key defender Sam Chamberlain was carried off in the second term after injuring his knee and took no further part in the game.

A crowd of 3459 watched the game, which was slightly down on previous grand finals but the NTFL was aware that Wynyard and Ulverstone contested all three matches reducing the potential of a bigger attendance.
