COLTS

Subiaco was able to grind out a 15-point win to stun East Fremantle on their home deck to start the day.

It was a see-sawing contest, beginning with the Lions looking in control as Tyler Senge kicked the first goal of the match.

From there East Fremantle caught fire, kicking 5 goals in a row to take the lead at three-quarter time.

The Lions rallied and showed their resilience, kicking four goals to one to wrestle back the momentum and finish ahead at the final siren.

Young tall Luker Kentfield was a presence up forward with a game-high three goals, while captain Jacob Evitt was instrumental in the Subiaco fightback with 16 touches and five inside 50s.

Big-bodied midfielder Ryan Newick picked up a team-high 20 disposals, while Mitchell O’Keefe continued his fine season with 15 possessions and five marks.
