THE Kalamunda Cougars D2 league team moved into equal top spot by giving old rival Whitfords a football lesson on Saturday, winning 13.13 (91) to 5.3 (33). Jimmy Outten played well with Ben Bowness finally getting some love from the coaches to be best on ground.
The D2 reserves team showed heart and grit (which they can do now without me in the team) and came out 15-point winners 10.5 (65) to 7.8 (50).
Ryan Adams led the midfield brigade with Matt van Herk best on again at Whitfords.
