RESERVES

The Subiaco Development side looked to continue their winning form from their round 1 victory over Claremont against a formidable opponent in Swan Districts. 

The side under the guidance of coach Paul Vines got off to a great start kicking 3.2 in the first quarter while keeping the Swans scoreless at the first break. The Swans would slowly bridge the gap over the next 2 quarters to be down by 5 points at the last change.

The last quarter would provide a shootout with both sides going goal for goal before a free-kick to Luke Shepherd would result in a goal too but the Lions up by 6 points with 3mins to play. Swans would then reply quickly 

Subiaco had three development players make their debut for the club in Luke Shepherd, Brandan Young and Daniel Farmer, while two Colts players were promoted in Lachlan Henderson and Trey Kennedy.

Subiaco’s fast start resulted in three goals to zero at the first break but it would be their scoring inaccuracy that potentially cost the young side from coming away with the win.
The Lion’s had 14 scoring shots to 9 with Swans making the most of their opportunities.

COLTS

Subiaco Colts’ recorded their first win of season 2020 with a resounding win over arch-rival Swan Districts. After having to wait for a little over a fortnight to play their second game of the season the players were chomping at the bit to correct some things that saw them go down in round one by a few kicks to Claremont.

Subiaco led at every change besides having five less inside 50's for the game. 

Jesse McDonald made his debut for Subiaco coming across from Claremont in the offseason. Jesse acquitted himself well from the backline having 13 possessions and sneaking forward for a goal.

Lachlan Vanirsen topped Subi’s disposal count racking up 24 touches (20 kicks, 4 handballs), while Jed Kemp had 19 and second gamer Jaxon Mcgowan had 16.

Subiaco again had a broad spread of goalkickers, with 10 players hitting the scoreboard. Two players, in particular, had a day out with Sandon Page kicking five and Jaxon Bilchuris in his first game for a few years kicking four.
