Great win by the seniors against second place Doncaster East last week to atone for the close loss earlier in the season. Welcome back to Matt Lee who kicked 3 goals and congratulations to Josh Ward on his 50th game. The seconds were undermanned getting help from a number of under 19 players after the U19’s recorded only their second win of the year. Great effort by Rory Bailey who kicked 10 goals for the 17A side against Glen Waverley Rovers last Sunday and also thanks to his dad Mark who has given the Coaches Boxes on the top oval at Kings Park a new coat of paint.
