RESERVES

The reserves kicked off 2020 in style with a 35 point win over Claremont.

The developing Lions blooded 13 new players with a mixture of transitioning Colts from 2019 and new recruits who all had a big impact on the result. 

Subiaco booted 5 first-quarter goals to help set up the victory. Claremont fought back to get within two goals at the main break but a five-goal 3rd term all but sealed the win for the Lions. 

Jack Borchet provides a great focal point up forward with three goals while new recruit Jake Stergiou kicked two in a promising showing. Tom Edwards-Baldwin was outstanding through the middle and Oskar Matthews was also a strong contributor in the ruck and down forward. 

The Development squad will travel to East Fremantle next week to play the sharks in a practice match to continue their good form from round one. 


COLTS

Saturday we saw the first game of the simply energy WAFL colts’ competition get underway with Subiaco facing last year’s reigning premiers Claremont.

The clash with Claremont ended in a 13-point loss to Subiaco.

The accurate Tigers led at every break and made the most of their opportunities inside 50.

Subiaco had 6 debutants in Jacob Evitt, Nicholas Cleaver, Lachlan McKay, Jake South, Galen Savigni and Jaxon Mcgowan
