CONGRATULATIONS TO THE VETERAN'S
No, this is not a belated Anzac Day message, the Chirnside Park Football Club Veteran's side has won the YMDFL Premiership at their first attempt and in their first season in the league!
The veterans side, newly formed for season 2001, went undefeated for the entire season and were firm flag favourites. But all that counted for nought to North Croydon who looked like causing an upset well into the last quarter.
Chirnside's flag hopes were not helped by some woeful kicking that saw them not registering a major in the 2nd & 3rd quarters, only scoring 13 minors. North Croydon on the otherhand had half as many scoring shots as the panthers but lead by 8 points well into the last quarter.
With around 8 minutes to play Chirnside finally found the way through the big sticks and kicked four of the last five goals to run out 8 point winners.
BEST PLAYERS: Jason Reuse, Scud, Carl Oates.
