What an absolutely great day for football and both games did not disappoint.
The colts outcome did not eventuate n our favour but on the balance of the play the better team one. It was hard fought and close at the half way break but Souths came out after the long break and played with that much more purpose and kicked a the goals that mattered. In the last quarter the Royals got back and t time looked like the could catch and pass the Bullies but time ran out, well done to both teams for a game that was fast and direct. Souths ball winners were that much more prolific than ours and it showed. Well done to the Hammer for another strong game.
The Ressies was also a game in two halves with the East Perth boys coming out on top after a dominate second half. The game was quick, direct and showed a high standard of skills. I was pleased to see the East Perth boys play like they did as it reinforces to me that we have a group that will be challengers for the flag this year. Well done to Dobbo, Jaxon Cahill and Stan Wright but for me the plaudits must go to the backline who controlled Souths for much of the game and allowed the mids and forward to capatilise!
