WHERE THERE'S A WILL ...
... there's a way
A Century of the Red & Black
All five Thirds teams saluted and the OXFC pulled off the rare 11/11 wins. Congrats all.
A stunning display from Matt Bourke's team saw Xavs destroy AJAX at Gary Smorgon. Max Quin booted eight in the 100 point win and Tom Mantesso led a cast of all-stars who brooked no challenge beyong quarter time. Before their contretemps with the Old Xaverians, AJAX was running hot and was equal first on the ladder. Tonight, they slip a game behind the leaders into third, but are still In a solid position to challenge for the top two. Next week, the Thirds have a derby clash with the Crocs.
Jonty Wiseman booted eight and twelve others hit the scoreboard as the Reptiles romped home at Scotch College. They sit second behinfd the Thirds, whom they will meet in the Derby next week.
In a low-scoring affair at Toorak Park, Xavs beat the Skobbers by just 5 points. The home team was a trifle lucky that their kicking didn't cost them the game. Still, they sit atop the table and will play the Ménages next week in the derby.
Ben Andrews was best and Jimmy Forrst booted two as the Mènages rolled over Blacks. The 'Nages are in fifth spot but will face their stablemate U23s next week in a Red 'n' Black derby.
Xavs sit second on the ladder, level on points with Uni Blacks, but a long way back on percentage despite Uni's loss to Fitzroy. Next week, the T-Birds meet Old Camberwell and have an exvellent chance to further solidify their position.
