FOURTH ESTATE wrote:95 I reckon. We were going to play a lot of night games that season, we played Elizabeth in round 1 under lights and they beat us so we didn't play any more that season.
95 was the year the NMFL joined the SAAFL our C & D Grade (Broadview) played in A5 North & A5 North Reserves against the former CDFA clubs.
We played Elizabeth Round 1 at their round and got smashed. They tried to charge us an entrance fee, and we told them to shove where the sun doesn't shine you aren't in the NMFL any more.
Grand Final that year at Salisbury
Smithfield knocked off Elizabeth who were undefeated all year in the A Grade and we knocked off North Pines in the GF after beating Elizabeth in the Second Semi and watched go out in straight sets the following week to North Pines.
Must’ve been 93 or 94 then, I was trying to work out what year it was based on who I went to town with later that night, was definitely NMFL and I was 18 or 19.
Yeah, Elizabeth always had their entrance manned, could enter from the netball gates though
