Hi all,
Well what a season we had in C4 this year. Obviously,there hasn't been a lot of talk in regards to C4 this year, but it was a great season nevertheless. Here are the final standings after Round 18
1 Southern River (C4) 18 15 3 0 0 0 1891 997 189.67 60
2 Secret Harbour (C4) 18 14 4 0 0 0 1889 1123 168.21 56
3 Belmont Districts (C4) 18 13 5 0 0 0 1626 1315 123.65 52
4 Cottesloe (C4) 18 12 6 0 0 0 1544 1394 110.76 48
5 Armadale (C4) 18 11 7 0 0 0 1839 1575 116.76 44
6 Osborne Park (C4) 18 9 8 1 0 0 1393 1305 106.74 38
7 Cobras (C4) 18 7 11 0 0 0 1388 1899 73.09 28
8 Kwinana (C4) 18 4 14 0 0 0 1303 1807 72.11 16
9 Rossmoyne (C4) 18 2 15 1 0 0 1164 1608 72.39 10
10 Jandakot (C4) 18 2 16 0 0 0 1025 2039 50.27 8
Our boys had a cracking year, finally finishing on top of the ladder and getting a nice week off in preparation for our first Preliminary Final. Having another standout year was Secret Harbour, who defeated us in last year's semi final but couldn't get over the line in the prelim. Coming down from C3 was Armadale (5th) and Belmont Districts (3rd) and they were both competitive throughout the year. Unfortunately for new inclusions Rossmoyne and Kwinana, they struggled and will find themselves having another crack next season in C4. Osborne Park, Cobras and Jandakot also spend another year in the lowest grade. To some people's surprise, Cottesloe finished 4th instead of the anticipated 1st position. They are a dark horse in this finals series as I believe they are a real chance to shake up the finals series.
Onto this weeks games...
Qualifying Final @ Rhonda Scarrott Oval
Secret Harbour V Belmont Districts
Season Battles
Round 5 - Secret Harbour 16.19.115 d Belmont Districts 9.7.61
Round 14 - Belmont Districts 11.5.71 def by Secret Harbour 20.13.133
Cracking game this one, and with thee way they've been playing, you'd think Secret Harbour would get the job done and make it 3 from 3. But... with only their League side playing finals, I think Belmont will take it up to them, even if it's at their windy pit. Belmont should get over the line by a couple of goals and book a spot in the Prelim against us.
Elimination Final @ Cottesloe Oval
Cottesloe V Armadale
Season Battles
Round 5 - Armadale 7.9.51 def by Cottesloe 16.12.108
Round 14 - Cottesloe 13.12.90 def by Armadale 26.14.170
First looking at this game and I'd say it would be difficult to pick between the 2.But... As i said before, I think Cottesloe are the dark horses of the finals series and I think they will make up for the last time the 2 teams faced off @ Cottesloe Oval. It will be a tough match, but Armadale will be keeping their spot in C4 for another season with Cottelsoe getting up by 5 goals.
Looking forward to seeing these results as I unfortunately won't be in the country to see my boys play off in a home final next week. Good Luck to all!
