Roys edge past CYs in nail-biter, return to Premier B

By Nick Armistead · September 1, 2018
Roys edge past CYs in nail-biter, return to Premier B

Fitzroy will return to Premier B next season after they defeated Williamstown CYMS by three points in a classic at Bill Lawry Oval.

Trailing by two points at the last break, the Roys kicked two goals to one in an incredible final term, with Nathan Jumeau slotting the sealer and his third for the day late in the game.

Sam Baker and Tom Cheshire impressed for the Roys, while Samuel Callard kicked three for the CYs alongside standout performances from teammates Russell Ackerly and Thomas Johnstone.

The CY’s, who finished the home and away season as minor premiers, will now regroup before taking on the winner of tomorrow’s first semi between Old Geelong and Old Camberwell.

The Roys suffered relegation last season but have been a standout alongside the CYs under new coach Luke Mahoney.
