CHADSTONE WIN FIRST GAME IN FOUR YEARS

A great day for football as Chadstone celebrate victory and Ash Close from Ivanhoe kicked his 100th goal of the season. 
However we start in Premier at Harry Trott Collegians met the challenge of Old Carey and ultimately brushed them away by 37 points.

Mark Passador kicked five goals in the win and Andrew Ramsden pulled his hamstring in bad news for Old Trinity. Perhaps Trinity heard the news from University Oval where Uni Blues caused the biggest boil over in Premier defeating Old Xaverians by 29 points. It was Xav’s first loss since round three, whilst the win for Blues sees them take a two game buffer into their relegation match with Old Trinitynext week.
