Kersbrook Bs into their first GF since 97. After Gum's upset win against Meadows today, could it be an all Northern Arch Rivals affair in this years B grade GF?

WTF happened to Kangarilla? B grades first loss for the year, and the As lose to Nairne for the first time! Too many injuries? Have the players had enough of Stringer? Will be interesting to see the ramifications of this loss at Kangy Land.


The rams just starting too play their best footy of the year... Great game yesterday Rams just attacked the ball a lot harder than Kangys..

Disapointing that the Rams B's aren't there too... Gums into the preliminary they couldn't even score a goal against us in the B's. Bring on GH :twisted:

Houghton lads had a good day out at Gumeracha (except for one who spent most of it asleep in the ute :lol: ). Scrappy game was played out, but had a lot of feeling to it. Good atmosphere, might have to make it out for the GF to cheer on both Kersbrook teams, hopefully the weather and oval surface is a bit better by then.

Really impressed by Nairne Bremer yesterday... a very tight unit, unlike us, wanted it from the outset.

Dont write them off to beat TV this week, very quick midfield and with big Twoms up foward look very dangerous.

Was involved in Kangy junior colts win on saturday, one of the most character building games i have ever seen, hopefully they can take it one step further, really one of the best group of young men i have ever been involved with.

Meadows Senior Colts looked very good Sunday, Seem to come good right time of year. I would say they will be dangerous now they have a sniff. B grade Gumeracha keep on going, i think this week will be their last though. Have watched nairne now both weeks in the finals. The pressure around the ground was huge on their behalf, kangy didn't ever look like they were going to get a clean possesion. But will they be able to match up against TV at Meadows. If Laube plays he could be a bonus, depending on what Sturt want from him....

No cricket on it again this season (They'll be at Houghton again) but should be right for Round 1 next footy season.

Thats good to hear for the club. How do you think the club has coped with the loss of revenue? or did they somehow strike a deal for some gate from the other ovals they used?

Only reason it will not be a Maccy is due to security. They had over 10 people watching to see if anyone sneaked into the ground the first time they played a final there. The oval will be in good condition though. HFL wont make a final decision like they did last year until Monday before the Grand Final.

The KFC won't setting record profits for season 2008, but it's not all doom and gloom as well. We've cut back the match payments this season to cope. :D

Nairne over Kangy a victory of

Club over chequebook

Coach over Clown

A nice win considering that at the first game of the year a certain official who rhymes with Jerry Springer was allegedly over heard to have said to some Ram supporters that them cheering when we were behind summed up why the club is in the shit

A national holiday over here in Canada tomorrow for the Nairne boys

Any truth that Stringer had quit as Kangarilla coach even before the lengthy post match review he had with players?

Cougar I hope you are right

Kangys success has been well deserved but I think the long term culture of the club will be better off with someone else

Club over checkbook? name one player who is getting paid....

pretty sure you dont get twoms or laube for nothing

and for the record stringer and raidis were not named. the coach chose to play injured players friday night and it didnt pay off.

credit to the rams for winning saturday. they wanted it more and played a better brand of footy. but you might wanna wait for the arrogance until you win a premiership. all you've achieved is a chance at playing in a GF. theres still 2 games to win.

say whatever you want after theres a medal around your neck. till then keep a lid on it
