A Grade Round 3

WA - Amateur Football Leagues A grade
1

I was hoping that someone was going to kick this off but I’ll give some insight even if I’m talking to myself here.

Fremantle CBC 2-0 vs North Beach 2-0 GOTR
Even though we are just 2 games, we have our first top of the ladder game for 2020 and my GOTR for this week. CBC coming off a big win over Kingsley and a hard fought win over Scarborough. North Beach have wins over Trinity and Collegians with big final quarters in both games. With this fact in mind ill tip the Beach by 2 goals in a beauty

Trinity Aquinas 1-1 vs Kingsway 1-1
On paper this looks the toughest game to pick this week. Trinity losing to North Beach but beating North Freo. Kingsway losing to North Freo but knocking off Uni in an upset last week. Purely because they are at home, Trinity by a goal.

Collegians 0-2 vs North Fremantle 1-1
By all reports Collegians were brave last week being up at half time against North Beach and eying this up as a game that they can win. North Freo had a little stumble last week but a chance at redemption here. North Freo by 5 goals.

Curtin Uni Wesley 2-0 vs Scarborough 1-1
Narrowly pipped for GOTR this week on paper this looks like a beauty. Ex Souths vs Ex subi??. Both sides have started well with only a 3 point loss for Scarborough against CBC being the only blemish. Again home ground factor seeing me tipping Curtin by 10 points.

University 0-2 vs Kingsley 0-2
If this was the AFL the term “premiership hangover” would be thrown around, personally I think Uni was just met 2 good footy sides however slumping to 0-3 and they have some issues. Kingsley by all reports were improved last week but playing the reigning champs at home is as tough as it gets. Can they improve enough to spring the upset of the year. Ill sum it up in one word, NO. University by 47 points.

Weather wise it can’t get any better out there and like normal the beers will taste great after. Cheers ??

Very interesting results indeed

North Beach appearing to outclass CBC from the start, in contrast to their first two wins coming from behind at 3QT.

Wesley appearing to outlast Scarborough, with Wesley kicking 1 behind to 3.3 in the last qtr and hold them off!

Collegians in front all day against a quality North Freo outfit is a good sign for them, and the upset of the round for mine.

TA’s getting up in a good one against Kingsway, wrestling the lead back after trailing at 3QT.

And Uni finally getting a win with an easy one over Kingsley, who are looking down the barrel after 3 straight losses making them the only winless team.

A few big games to come this weekend. Sources indicating big Sandi might lace up for the Maggies?
