Maggies Win Effortlessly

By: Lois Thomas 

Coorow Latham ran out easy 131 point winners over Morawa in the first half of their game in round two, game six of the Cunningham Ag Service’s North Midlands Football League.  In a game of two distinct halves Coorow Latham put the result out of doubt by half time leading by 99 points and then Morawa displayed true grit and determination to fight out the second half. Chris Latham was superb in midfield for Coorow in the first half.  Using chains of handball the Coorow Latham midfield controlled the game, giving their forwards every opportunity to convert. However in the second half, the young Morawa side, closed down the game led by veteran Phil Beard fought back and were unlucky not to outscore Coorow Latham in the third quarter.  Late goals to Coorow Latham in the final term took the shine off a good second half performance by Tigers.

The umpires awarded the Belt Up game ball to Chris Latham of Coorow Latham.

The Carnamah/Perenjori Roo's demonstrated why they're the topside, when they completely outclassed a disappointing Dongara side winning by 129 points.

From the first bounce, the mid-field dominance of Peter Machin, Geoff Page and David Lete was too strong for Dongara as they belted 14 goals for the first half setting up a winning margin. Paul Shearer, Brad Ralph and Beau Patton worked tirelessly all day but could do little to counteract the continual onslaught of the Roo's.

It was a far tighter tussal at Three Springs with the home side 9-11 running out 8-point winners over Mingenew. Congratulations to Jim Heal on 150 games and Trevor Latham on 50 games for Three Spring Bombers.
