“We believe this is a world record number of premierships wins,” Pirates football manager Mike Smyth said.
Young Pirate Jack Wheeler was best on ground in the grand final and also won the DDJFL under 10 best and fairest medal.
Wheeler will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of former Parkmore stars David Neitz, Darren Millane and Jayson Daniels, who are just three of the 11 Pirates who went on to play in the Australian Football League.
