Bulldogs go down to the Saints in football

Joel KellyThe Advocate

A win was made even more vital with the fourth-placed Parkerville downing Chidlow the day before.

In perfect conditions for football, the game was a free flowing spectacle, often at times displayed with outstanding skills from both sides.

Bullsbrook, after starting slow, managed to go into the first break ahead by two goals.
