Reserve grade secured top place with a 168-point win.

Third grade beat Swan Valley by 67 points and the colts played exceptional football, downing the Cobras by 70 points.

The club as a whole is travelling exceptionally well both on and off the field and offers players of all abilities the chance to play football.

This has also now included the introduction of a women’s team, who played their first game on Sunday.

“Continuous growth and climbing the grades is our focus” club president Andrew Coxall said.

“We are now a six-team club, which is a credit to all who are involved.”
