In saying that, the worst incident was at the start of the game when the Newington 'tunnel' was formed. It was an impressive tunnel, but it was pretty sad to see old boys join the end of it at the half way point where Riverview were lining up. The vitirol that the Riverview guys sustained in the...
Who's scoop?
No.8 cover defence not part of Union??
Now you tell me!
After playing No.8 for 20 years I now find out that I was doing the wrong thing all that time!

Joeys over Kings by more than some think
