On a barmy saturday arvo I poped four of the nevilles into the commodore, and it was time to hit our second Swan Districts match this year. For anyone who doesn't know Swan Districts is our local Aussie Rules footy side, and we try to get to as many matches that we can. See when you get a average crowd of two and a half thousand swanies supporters to each match, then y
ou can see that all the moolah the club can get will come in handy. Now they mightn't get much money off me at the gate, as it only costs me $10 to get in (as nevilles under 16 get in free..... you little beauty). But when you add up a few hotdogs, some hot chips and an ice-cream each then STREWTH! But it all goes to the club so you don't mind supporting your local mob hay, and our local mob are called THE SWANIES and two weekends back they played last years minor premiers SUBIACO LIONS.
When it comes to the end of a Quarter you and the kiddies can come onto the field, and muck around kicking and passing about. Here is Sarah about to give the burley a boot!
What ya reckon a future Swanie in the making, well he does have the head of a footballer!
During the second Quarter we were winning but just by a kick (six points), and not looking to flash with a few players looking worse for wear. The kiddies got out on the field and mucked around, heres Harrison going down in a beaut textbook tackle by the notsolittle
Oscar. Then it was back off the field for the third Quarter, heres Oscar watching from behind the old picket fence that surrounds the ground.The Swanies had a 'Barry Crocker' and fell behind by six straight goals, and it didn't get any better then that.
I have a little deal with the kiddies that if there not mucking about to much during the gam
e, then they can have an ice-cream in the fourth Quarter. And as you can see they must of been okay as they got one, you'd think between a few snacks (sneaked in) and a hotdog, chips and a few drinks that they couldn't fit another thing in hay..... wrong!
As for the match the Swans went down quicker then a pie at a butchers picnic, the Lions went on to win by four goals with a score of
Subiaco Lions 18 10 (110)
Swan Disticts 13 18 (96)
If only the swans could of kicked a bit more straight, but theres always another match coming up hay.
Oh well theres always next week hay.
By the way since then the Swanies have lifted themselves up the ladder. And now are coming second with six wins and two loses, with a ripper win last weekend beating Peel Thunder by 106 points... crikey!
