By Sally Bywater Keith v Kybybolite What a game! Kyby came to Keith and left nothing behind. A hard fought game to the final whistle. Kyby were one up at quarter time (15-14) then Keith flipped the lead to be one up at half time (31-30). An intense second half saw both sides continue to apply pressure down the whole court. Whitney Smith (Keith) and Gorgia Sealey (Kyby) had a close tussle in the midcourt, both contributing positively to their sides in attack and defence. Charlee Hodges’ (Kyby) precision passing into Chelsea Bull kept Keith’s ability to turnover the ball minimal. The game was close until the last 5 minutes, where Keith pulled away to finish with a 9 goal lead, 64-55. A highly contested game across the entire court for a full 60 minutes. Great game girls. Mundulla v Naracoorte In a fast paced game at Mundulla, Naracoorte took […]

This week I want to focus on umpiring. I have watched a lot of AFL footy over the weekend, and I am not really all that happy about the standard of umpiring at the top level. I watched a local game on Saturday and after watching the same sport on Friday night I am really happy to keep going to my local footy every Saturday. I simply can’t believe with all the technology and whatever that is going on with the AFL, that they could mess up a couple of decisions in an important game so badly.  I was watching Collingwood V Geelong. Jeremy Cameron definitely did not mark that ball, it was over the boundary line. But the Boundary Empire was right there, so he was in the better position than me to judge that one. I will give you that one, but watching it back, it was definitely […]

Naracoorte may have handed Keith the double chance in the race for the KNTFL A grade finals after a significant loss last Saturday. Sitting in third going into the game against second-place Mundulla, Naracoorte were no match for the northern Tigers and were thrashed by 10 goals, meaning they have been leapfrogged on the ladder by Keith.  Naracoorte trailed from the start and Mundulla only extended the margin the further the game went, with star forward James Hinge kicking six goals and young Harry Kuchel named best player. Zac Peake kicked three goals for Naracoorte and Nathan Davey was named best, but the Demons were well beaten.  Keith were challenged early by Kyby but pulled right away after half time to win by nearly 10 goals. Blake Read was again a star forward with five goals for the Crows, who moved into third place ahead of Naracoorte with the win.  […]
