By Barb Altus. In the closest Preliminary Final in living memory, Kingston won their way into their first Grand Final in the KNT and their first since 2000 with a behind scored after extra time. Mundulla started well when, after minor scores by each team, Mundulla’s Grosser and McGrice forced the ball to Studham who wheeled and goaled two minutes in. After another two behinds by the Saints and determined defence by Gambranis their Captain Tom Rogers directed the ball to Harding who passed to Warner who kicked truly to give Kingston the lead fourteen minutes in. The Tigers levelled the score with two more minor scores before Kuchel and Ballinger drove the ball to Noll who snapped accurately to retake the lead. The Moots kept attacking but only managed another three minor scores, including one shot which hit the post, before the Saints also registered a behind after the […]

Either Border Districts or Kingston will win their first ever KNTFL A grade premiership this weekend after both qualified for the grand final. While Border Districts won their way into the grand final the previous week, Kingston defeated the hot favourites Mundulla in the preliminary final at Bordertown last Saturday in an absolute thriller. In what could be a first for the league, double extra time was required to split the teams after they were tied at full time, and also after one period of extra time. Perennial grand finalists Mundulla started the game the best to lead by 8 points at quarter time, before Kingston took control in the second to lead 46-27 at half time. Mundulla narrowed the margin to 13 points at the last break, but were kicking inaccurately with a score of 5.12, trailing Kingston’s 8.7. In a frenetic last quarter, Mundulla came hard again, winning […]

By Barb Altus. Kingston opened the scoring with two behinds in the first ten minutes, then they locked the ball in their forward line where Tapfield kicked truly. Keith’s Johnson and Wilsdon were working hard in defence and Callum McMurray, Mitchell and Mitchell were attacking strongly, and the Crows replied two minutes later when Ryan booted the ball goalward where it rolled through the big sticks, before the Saints’ Benson turned defence into attack and Rothall made no mistake. The Crows attacked again but only a minor score ensued and at quarter-time Kingston led 2-2-14 to 1-1-7. The Saints again scored a behind in the first minute of the second term before Watson squeezed the ball through the goals from a tight angle. Keith replied with a minor score, followed by a major by Mitchell, then Farmer worked the ball to Trowbridge who kicked accurately. Kingston’s Benson, Cousins, Stenner and […]
