Round 1 Review
The Club XVIII and Reserves 2008 premiership flags were raised high above the Main Oval on Saturday. As they fluttered overhead, the Seniors and Club XVIII teams won handsomely while the Reserves experienced their first defeat for some time. Over on the Crawford Oval, the Under 19s turned in a credible performance but surrendered the four points to Beaumaris.

Round 2 Preview
On Saturday, the Senior and Reserve teams travel to Waverly Oval, Malvern to play De La Salle. De La are fresh off a win at Toorak Park and Coach Kanis’ team had better be ready for a battle. Gunga’s Twos will be looking to return to the more familiar setting of the winners’ list. Main game, 2:30 pm (following a minute's silence for ANZAC Day). Reserves, 12 noon.
Supercoach Granleese takes the Clubbies to Righetti Oval, Kooyong to play St.Kevins. Be there at 11:40am to see some big ins. Maybe including a famous number 11?
The Under 19s take the long haul flight to Brindisi St to play St.Bedes Mentone Tigers.
Good luck to all players involved.
