Mooroopna and Kyabram played out a classic Cricket Shepparton Haisman Shield decider on Saturday.

The game ebbed and flowed in favour of both sides and there were twists and turns throughout the contest.

Kyabram looked to be in the box seat to clinch its maiden Haisman Shield title, but a stunning fightback from the reigning premier denied the Redbacks a fairytale.

News photographer Megan Fisher went along to Deakin Reserve at the start of the match and captured plenty of action from when Kyabram wrestled momentum its way.
