The League team showed great courage and determination in an enthralling encounter against equal top, Kingsley. With some eight League players being unavailable and two early injuries, depleting the interchange bench, North were up against it from the outset. We can only admire the way the players met the challenge, believing in themselves and fighting hard all day in an encounter where the lead alternated and the spirit never waned! It could have gone either way in the last few minutes of the game, but the depleted bench had taken its toll and Kingsley won by a couple of goals. As the players said post game. "It was a great game of footy! Both sides are to be congratulated!' Next week against Mt Lawley is an opportunity to bounce back to the winner's list. NFAFC: 12.11 (83) Kingsway 15.6 (96)
The shuffle of players into the League team to fill vacancies impacted in significant changes for all senior teams. It is to their credit they were still able to continue their winning ways. Whilst perhaps the game quality was not quite as high as usual, all players set themselves for victory, especially the Fours - winning and honouring Molly, a true Club Champion. A terrific effort by these sides: Reserves NFAFC 10 - 10 (70) Kingsley 4.11 (35); Threes NFAFC 15.15 (105) Kingsley 4.3 (27); Fours NFAFC 11.7 (73) Kingsley 4.3 (27).
Great to see the Drew Banfield Colts return to the winner's list! A more skillful and purposeful team effort! Thoroughly deserved! NFAFC 14.6 (90) Kingsley 12.5 (77). The Brett Jones Colts would like to forget the first half of their game against Uni Curtin. However, they lifted after half time and piled on the goals, to take the lead. However Uni Curtin were also just as relentless and ran out winners! Oure lads gave it their best but fell short of victory, Which did hurt! NFAFC 6.7 (43) Kingsley 6.9 (45).
