Haha pardon me.

You're excused, everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is that we learn.

I don't.

I don't.

Well that's unfortunate but explains a fair bit. I'm sure it's just a development issue and could be worked on.

I meant I don't make mistakes.

If you’re looking for venue a for trial matches, Londonderry Ave at Salisbury Downs is extremely accessible and have seen their fair share of Games over the years, the locals love to get along and watch, reminiscing about days gone by and what a bunch of crooks Trinity are. Reach out to the club who have been to happy to facilitate over the last few years.

Ingle Farm vs West Croydon @ West Croydon - 28 Feb

Wow the 28th is early. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Ended up being a pretty good evening for a trial - little late, and unsual playing in the wet during February, but still was good to get out and have a run around.

More info please Mr Bedgewood

Was it A’s and B’s?
What was the score roughly?

I had the wrong club initially but is my prediction of WC being in the GF potentially around the mark?

I’m chomping at the bit for our trials to start. It’s an average time of year to be a footy manager with a lot of stuff to do every day.

West Croydon played 2x squads (A + B) three quarters each, Ingle Farm played one large squad mixed grades.

Didn't keep track of scores, but would think Ingle Farm would've won the initial 3 quarters, the 4th quarter fairly even and then West Croydon blew us away - would've been around 6 goals in the 5th period, and prob much the same in the last with a lot of tired legs.. so would say overall prob a 12 goal win to WC.

Hard to get a read, they looked pretty slick at times West Croydon, and a good side for D7 - but we also had a lot of tired legs, bunch of kids and B/C graders playing, and we are in for a long year anyway.

If the boys from Fitzroy jump ship back to West Croydon they'll prove tough. They certainly have better depth than recent years

Good hit out yesterday between SNorf and Broadies at Central United. Followed by our Women taking on Hope Valley In A Women’s game where both clubs ran through very large squads.

The B/C grade game was a good contest with it going down to the wire. Both clubs got 1 injury but good to hear both lads are fine.
I only got to watch the half the A grade but again a good contest. Both clubs trying plenty of new talent. I heard Broadies may have had as many as 12 new faces. I think SNorf had 6 or 7 new faces across the 2 games. Number 33 for the Tigers was very impressive. A good day all round and great to have the footy back. Well done to the handsome and brilliant footy manager for booking early games as it got real hot in the afternoon.

Good luck to the Tigers and the Demons for the year and thanks for a good day of footy. Have mentioned it elsewhere but really appreciate the use of the facilities by the Units. With these Div 1 lads they probably sold more Gatorade tha beer.
