Subi's Fixture Throwback: 2018 Colts Grand Final v Swan Districts

Subi will start its trip down memory lane this weekend as our Fixture Throwback series commences today.

With no live WAFL football from Leederville Oval and throughout the competition, we will share/broadcast matches from years gone by; featuring the teams that were initially set to do battle in the18 rounds of competition during the 2020 Optus WAFL Premiership Season. 

We begin today as we replay a monumental match against Swan Districts on a day that etched Subiaco's name in the history books; where we won three premierships across Colts, Reserves and League, and the Colt's first premiership for 29 years.

SUBIACO                2.4 5.6 7.6 9.10 (64)
SWAN DISTRICTS  2.1 4.3 6.6 9.8 (62)

Subiaco held on to win in a thrilling WAFL Colts Grand Final to beat Swan Districts by two points at Optus Stadium, with the Lions claiming their first premiership in 29 years.
 
It continued the winning on Grand Final day for Subiaco backing up the reserves premiership to start proceedings at Optus Stadium and leading into the league Grand Final with the Lions taking on West Perth.
 
Subiaco finished the colts season on top of the ladder and won straight through to the Grand Final beating Swan Districts in the second semi-final, but with both teams possessing a host of future AFL and WAFL talent, it was always set to be a BIG clash.
 
It certainly didn’t fail to deliver and Swan Districts clawed back within two points late in the contest with a goal from 50 to Mitchell Bain. But in a frantic finish, Subiaco was able to hold on and win 9.10 (64) to 9.8 (62).
