  1. how strong was the kingborough team walter? if they were at near full strength it can't be a good sign being beaten 4 nil by the south youth team...

  2. Hi Spectator

    I wasn't there so I don't know what sort of team Kingborough fielded. I know there were some senior players from last season. Perhaps Geoff Freeman or someone else from Kingborough can let readers know.

    Cheers!

  3. thought the older pearce lad (Damien?) played for a short while and may have finished up injuring an arm?? KL's more reserves today rather than seniors "strength". South young 'uns bossed it generally thru superior football and fitness, although I thought the Lions hit the onion bag once.

  5. roberto - not sure of $$$'s but this match was a featured event in today's Snug community fair which was donating funds to Peter McCallum Clinic - all credit to South and Lions for being involved.

  10. Looking at the Lion's lineup, it mostly seems to be U19s and a few seniors. Anyone who takes anything from this in trying to gauge form for the year would be a fool, but there seem to be plenty of those on here. :-) Good to see two teams trying to do something in a less fortunate position than themselves. Well done to both clubs.
