CHRIS Gow has played in more grand finals than most footballer's dream of, but Sunday's could be a little different.

Taking on Mangoplah-Cookardinia United-Eastlakes in the grand final, Gow is out to claim his first Riverina Football League premiership.

Gow will line up in his 11th grand final for Collingullie-Ashmont-Kapooka and after suffering losses in the club's first two RFL grand finals, would love nothing more than to go one better at the Narrandera Sportsground.

"This will be my 11th grand final and I've won five, lost five so hopefully I will go into the positive side of the ledger," he said.

A Demon since he first started playing football as a six-year-old, the now thirty-year-old has only missed making it into a grand final in two of his last 13 seasons with the club.

Winning back to back premierships 2002 and 2003 and treble in 2008-10 when the club was in the Farrer League, a RFL premiership has remained elusive.

Going down by to Coolamon by 23 points last year and to Narrandera by 39 points the year before, Gow believes the club will be better for the heartbreak on Sunday.

"I think we've learnt from the last two years and obviously with every grand final you are a 50-50 chance when the ball is bounced up," he said.

"They don't get any extra points for beating us two weeks ago and we certainly don't get any extra for finishing on top."

After a positive start in the major semi-final which saw the Demons lead by 26 late in the second quarter, MCUE can storming back into the contest, keeping its rivals goalless in the last half to be the first team into the grand final.

Coming through a tense preliminary final against Coolamon on Sunday, Gow believes there is a good feeling within the group ahead of the decider.

Goals have been hard to come by for the Demons in the final series, kicking seven in each of their two finals, but the co-captain puts that down to the style of football played in the finals rather than an underlying problem.

"I don't think you can read too much into (Sunday's) game with goals kicked - it was just a typical finals game with a lot of stoppages, boundary throw-ins and balls ups," Gow said.

"It was a typical hard, in close game which didn't suit the outside players, which was probably the most pleasing thing about being able to come out and win that.

"Because with a lot of kids in our side, the outside run style of game suits us a lot better so to be able to win a bit of a slug fest and a in close game was pretty pleasing."

Gow has only played 10 games for the Demons this season after injuring his shoulder in the pre-season.

He re-aggravated it a few weeks before the start of the season which saw him miss the entire first round of the season, but is back in his unassuming role on the forward pocket.

"It's the first time I've had a major injury to get over and it was definitely hard watching early on, especially as the guys were going well," he said.

"To be able to get back and play a part in it has been pretty good."
