CFMG Capital - Colts Round 3 Preview
Andrew Thomson
Colts face first big test vs Grange
The Western Colts will get a stern examination of where they sit when they play Wilston Grange in a late afternoon game on Good Friday.
The Pies have had a good start to the season with 2 out of 2 while Grange had a big win over the Surfers Sharks in Round 1 then had a bye last week.
The Pies were well beaten in a practice match by the Sharks but this week's team will be far stronger with the inclusion recently of tseveral players who played Senior and Reserves football in early rounds and in the practice matches.
Led by strong bodied Lachlan Pearson, Cam Ferguson, Jacob Aurisch and Noah Resuggan, the Pies have the strength and experience to mix it with the Gorillas.
At ground level speedsters such as Sam Mehari, Ritti Batilimoyo and Rory Edwards can open up the opposition while Blake Jones and Jack Prest are classy players who have come into the side this year.
This match shapes as a top two contest even this early in the season and the Pies will be well prepared for the contest.
Be sure to stick around after the Senior Game to catch the lads in action at 345pm
