North Beach vs Trinity Aquanis
Not in years has round 1 been so important for the Beach Boys. After Billy Duckworth’s illustrous career that yielded a stack of flags, the number 1 team in the WAAFL over the past decade have appointed ex-Eagles Premiership player David ‘Beans’ Hynes to guide the club. If recent history is anything to go by, North Beach tend to drop games early, something Hynes will be trying to arrest. Will be a cracker of a game with the home ground advantage the only reason why I am tipping them for a win. A win from North Beach will ensure that any critics that
Hynes has will remain silent, a loss and who knows what will happen.
Beach by a 18 points.
Maddington Vs Collegians
A fierce rivally that started when both teams played off for the B Grade flag a few years ago. The mail on Maddington is that they have recruited strongly, not much goss from the boys up on the hill in Dalkeith. Maddo tend to have late runs to the season where they pick up wins but start poorly. I am predicting the same for this game. Collegians have an abundance of youth and that should see them run all over the Bulls. Just watch out the holes and ditches at Harmony Field.

Fremantle CBC vs Whitford
CBC coming up to B grade to face 5th place Warriors from last year. Whitfords disappointed with how they finished last year and have added some quality mids and talls to their list. Had a successful outing at North Fremantle last weekend and they are poised to stamp their authority on Round 1. Haven’t heard much from the boys down at CBC, lets just hope the gound is in good nick as always and they remember to pay the gas bill.
Whitfords
Wesley Curtin vs Mt Lawley
Haven’t heard much from both camps however Mt Lawley are confident of a win in round 1. As have some suggested on this site, they are cherry ripe for a red hot tilt at the flag this year and could be a surprise packet. Wesley have lost their best key man in Dawes and this will be a big loss as he provides such a focal point for the team.

University vs Swan Athletic
Josh Wooden’s men will be coming up against clearly the most in form side over the last 2 years. A couple of flags have the Uni boys looking for a three-peat this year. Don’t know about the ins/outs for them but if they have managed to keep the majority of their list they will be too good this week. Swan Athletic may find this game as a real benchmark to see whether their intense preseason has paid off.
