Saints get their revenge

Staff ReporterMidland Kalamunda Reporter

The game was a chance for the Saints to make amends for their 21-point loss in round two of the Hills Football Association in April.

The first quarter saw Bullsbrook jump ahead and hold a two-goal lead at the first change.

Wundowie fought hard in the second quarter and kicked five unanswered goals to go in at half time with their noses in front. After a revving from their coach, the Saints came out fired up in the third term and kept the Warriors goalless while kicking a few of their own.

In a titanic second-half battle, Chidlow emerged the narrowest of winners.

Jacob York starred for the Hawks, along with Luke Jones and Matthew Nugent.

Michael McKinlay was among the Cougars’ best, along with Alex Radonic. Adam McKinlay booted six goals to take his season tally to 107.

Gidgegannup continued on their winning way with an effortless 160-point win over an undermanned Forrestfield, setting up an enthralling top-of the table clash with Chidlow.

Gidge’s only loss for the season was in its round eight humbling at the hands of the Cougars on June 9.
