Has the senior colts competition ever been so even? A great comp atm with the top 7 teams very even which is a great thing for the players development as they learn little when they play against mismatched opponents regularly.
Saw the M.Comp V Creek senior colts game which was a Fantastic contest in trying conditions and Both sides are to be congratulated on their sportsmanship shown after the game. Despite their being plenty of niggle, lip, and push and shove during the game, Not only did the players immediatley shake hands (as per usual) after the game but also noticed Quite a number of players from BOTH teams shake hands with the umpires as well.
Really good stuff fellas, keep it up.![]()

Great point you make JJ. I was speaking to people involved with the Bays Snr Colts, Creek and also Saints over the weekend and what a competition they have in 08! Not one side is the cler stand out with anyone in that top seven able to beat anyone on the day as the Creek have shown by beating Saints and now Compass. It looks like its going to come down to % for 5th and maybe 4th spot and this is dissapointing as in snr colts they are only alowed a 10 goal win. The saints were saying they have had four wins by more than 28 goals this year but only rewarded a 10 goal win, for a side to miss out on finals due to this will hurt.
Saints have a hard run home facing all top 6 sides and suffering 4 season ending injuries in the first 4 games and with colts required to play both A & B grade every week numbers are running low and they are using Jnr Colts.
Bays have a good run home and good numbers and will be looking to keep the B grade company in september, could we see a big game in round 18 between Bays and Saints with the winner to make finals and looser to miss out?
Creeks are the team to beat at the moment with a very slow start to the year loosing the first 4 games and since then only dropping the one. They picked up Cusins from strath and he seems to have lifted and now have great momentum heading into finals.
