What a game of footy on Saturday at Thunder Park. It was a real pleasure to be part of it.
Both sides put in their all, but unfortunately, there could only be one winner & that was the might Thunderers.
Congratulations to Strop Campbell & the Ironbank Committee for having the forsight & fortitude in giving those younsters the opportunity to play A Grade football. The perserverance has finally paid off by beating last year's premiers.
The Thunderers haven't beaten the Devils since 2004 & Saturday's win has been a hard grind. You couldn't get the grin off Strop's face, nor the Prez's for that matter, after the game.
There has been a bit of feeling between these two clubs over the years, but having Coco, the Devil's President, (coming into our change rooms) after the game to contratulate Strop Campbell & Paul Langman, our President, was a great show of sportsmanship, that didn't go un-noticed.
As said in a previous post, A Grade footy is alive & healthy in the Hills.
Go you Thunderers
