Perth Football League to take on Victorian competition

Tom TappingWestern Suburbs Weekly

THE Perth Football League will take on the Victorian Amateur Football Association on July 6 at 1pm at Fremantle Oval.

Just 16 points separated the two sides when they met at Trevor Barker Oval in Victoria last July.

The Perth Football League started strong but was over-run in the second half, with the VAFA kicking five goals to one.
