HOW sweet it was to see a large crowd and a cracking game of football at Springvale Reserve on Saturday.
But reports in other local media seem to have slightly overstated the event.
One reported a crowd topping 2000! Now let’s be honest, the crowd was great, but unless you were counting arms and legs …
STILL on the big game, it appears SPRINGVALE’S ploy to rest key players against PARKMORE last week paid dividends.
After DINGLEY dominated early, it was clear that the Demons had much more run in the second half, and in particular, the decisive last quarter.
Dingley coach Adam Quinn had previously dismissed the tactic as waste of time, and even as having a negative effect, but we wonder what Quinny thinks now?
A HEALTHY rivalry is definitely developing between Springvale and Dingley.
Saturday’s arm-wrestle was full of niggles and a couple of heavy clashes, one which resulted in a blood rule interchange.
It’s exactly what local Division Two football needed!
Unfortunately the local derby won’t last long, with one of the two sides almost guaranteed a promotion.
Perhaps we need to start barracking for OAKLEIGH?
ONE Dingley insider told Out of Bounds that the crowd on Saturday was “70 per cent Dingley, 20 per cent Springvale and 10 per cent neutral”.
The balance might not have been that lopsided, but the Dingoes certainly had the biggest following on the day. Luckily, the minority had the last laugh.
CITY of Greater Dandenong parking inspectors would have had a field day along Newcomen Road, with scores of cars parked illegally.
Creativity was the best approach, and the local council missed a chance to fill the pockets.
CONGRATULATIONS are in order for KEYSBOROUGH pair William Gayfer and Greg Walker who have been added to the VCFL country team training squad, together with NARRE WARREN rover Ricky Clark.
It is a double celebration for Walker after he was recently given the all-clear on a lump under his arm.
Fears of a serious ailment were allayed after tests revealed that the offending growth was due to an allergy to his underarm deodorant.
