Well a good weekend of football indeed.
Surprise of the round was Wembley getting over North Beach and perhaps Wanneroo getting the win over Kingsway…but we all knew that would happen.
MrM arrived at the ground and was looking forward to a good dry day of football. MrM got wet, so first task for the day ruined but as the colts game started.
BigO was right the ground didn’t look like it was in too bad of condition.
As for the football, well the Colts game started quite well. Wanneroo looked good again and got the in. Some Kingsway players should perhaps focus on the football, but then again MrM will say, once an offender, always an offender, less time spent on them the better.
In the Reserves Wanneroo used the breeze well, but then Kingsway used it a lot better in the second quarter. In the second half MrM couldn’t see Wanneroo winning the game, but to his surprise they turned it around and Kingsway only kicked a goal in the second quarter, even with a 5 goal breeze in the last, they failed to fire. Wanneroo kicked two into the breeze in the last to win the game.
MrM ventured up to the canteen, grabbed himself some hot chips. Nothing really to write home about, but they weren’t the worst. 6.5/10
The balcony looked to busy for MrM to venture up towards, so he steered clear of that but the crowd didn’t look to big, perhaps most stayed inside all day though, but a quiet-ish crowd? They did make some noise though, towards people who weren’t even at the ground though? Perhaps someone struck a chord last time.
In the League game Kingsway got off to a good start and into the wind got the first two of the game Wanneroo managed to settle and hit the lead by quarter time. The second quarter was quite even with two goals apiece, but MrM thought Wanneroo looked like they were the ones wanting to do the hard yards. But oof words and a push at half time but nothing overly exciting.
In the third is where Wanneroo hit there straps, like last seasons B grade grand final Wanneroo were flowing along, but got a little cute in front of goal and squandered opportunities. But having a 3-goal lead, and Kingsway kicking with a 5-goal breeze in the last was going to be a challenge.
The last quarter was a scrap and little happened but Wanneroo managed to hold on and win.
Wanneroo also seemed to have the louder crowd, but we already mentioned that.
The win may save Wanneroo from relegation, while Kingsway may struggle to avoid it. But you never know what way results may fall.
