AUCTION MAJOR ITEMS : PRE-BIDDING OPENS FRIDAY MORNING

August 12th, 2010

OM’s given a lesson, All Stars through to Grand Final!

August 9th, 2010

OM’s had a mixed weekend, the low being a 92 point thrashing from a pumped up Old Xavs in the seniors, but the high being the win by the Clubbies to take them straight through to the Grand Final in a fortnight’s time.

In between, the Reserves lost a nail biter on the last kick of the day, the 3rds got home in a close one, and the Under 19’s were competitive in the 2^nd half after being swamped in the first half.

Not a lot of great news from the seniors game, although the news from around the grounds which saw Old Brighton and Old Trinity also suffer heavy defeats means that A Grade 2011 is now a certainty, irrespective of the last 2 rounds. A solid effort for our first year back in Premier Football!
