Andrew McGown made a sensational debut in the new competition picking up plenty of possessions in the midfield and kicking three goals. Aaron Hardie was fantastic in the ruck opposed to Rand/Walbundrie’s two giant ruckman, while Damian Mannes and Carl Pound were prolific across the backline and midfield, giving plenty of opportunity to the Coly forwards.

Jason Heath was on fire in the forward line as Rand/Walbundrie struggled to find anyone capable of keeping up with his athleticism and pace as he went on to kick seven goals.

Goal kickers for the Blues were Jason Heath (7), Andrew McGown (3), Shane Pound (2), Carl Pound (2), Jeff Harris and David Dunbar (1) a piece.
