bays to wrap up the minor premiership with a comfortable win at home

Bays will be too strong at home. Should win by 5+ goals and sew up top spot.

Tight first half but the Bays put their foot down I the third quarter and Westies couldn't keep up. Once the Tigers decided to start running the ball and going direct to goal instead of chipping sideways they looked much better. Bays defence was good again and the midfield got on top in the second half and used the ball well.

Thilthorpe looks a good youngster for West, a bit of size and a good kick. Leviki did well in defence until the flood gates opened but I reckon he won his position on the day.

Another miserable day for us but it was good for the competition to see the Bays home crowd looking so sizeable. They look solid across the ground and are much bigger and stronger than us.

The Bays crowd looks bigger and stronger than us?

Yeah, probably right.

So does their team

Left myself wide open for that didn't I.

you did indeed
