***** The Bounce *****
Division six has anointed a new
premiership favourite, Blackfriars Old
Scholars. Currently one game clear at
the head of the chasing pack, the
Hounds have the minor premiership
in their grasp. At the weekend, Blackfriars
relegated the once top-of-theladder
Ingle Farm to third place and
the Bulldogs may struggle to move
back into the top two where they
have sat for the majority of the year.
West Croydon has arisen as a challenger
to Blackfriars Old Scholars
after another convincing performance
against Lockleys. Cameron
McKinnon stared with six goals for
the Hawks, whilst Stanley Freeman
and Michael Francis were likewise
dominant. Fitzroy caused the upset
of the year in Division six after defeating
Rosewater by 18 points. Trailing
at quarter time, the Roys lifted,
inspired by young gun Peadar Brady
and by three quarter time where
within striking distance of an unlikely
victory. The final term was a
shootout, however, Fitzroy capitalised
on Rosewaters inability to apply
scoreboard pressure to record a famous
win.
