Redeyes aim for strong finish

Blighty fourths player Reagan Macdonald takes off with the ball while Bailey Hemphill shepherds in a game against Berrigan earlier this season.

The Blighty seniors will face their final challenge of the Picola and District Football League season tomorrow.

The Redeyes will cap a turbulent season off with a tough game against a promising finals contender.

They will host Katunga at the Blighty Recreation Reserve.

The Swans currently sit in sixth place on the PDFL ladder, while Blighty sit at 13th.

Seniors coach Kyel Bain said the side is looking good for their final game of the season.

“It’s been a tough season for us, so we will be looking to finish off strong but also have some fun out there,” he said.

“Katunga are a really good, young side and will go a fair way into finals I think.”

Play for the seniors will start at 2.05pm tomorrow at Blighty Recreation Reserve.

While tomorrow will be the seniors’ last game of the season, finals hopes are still alive for a few other Blighty sides.

Blighty’s under-17s footy side will take on the Swannies tomorrow in a must win game to secure a finals position.

The thirds have the eighth spot on the ladder heading into the match-up, but Katunga sit only one loss behind. They will be hungry to take over that number eight spot.

It is the reverse in the fourths, with Blighty sitting in seventh just one loss behind Katunga.

The reserves head into the weekend in 14th place.

On the netball courts it is all up to Blighty’s under-17s, who currently sit in eighth position on the PDNL ladder.

Heading into the weekend, Blighty’s A-grade is 11th, B-grade and C-grade are both at 15th, C-reserve is in 14th, the under-15s are as 10th and the under-13s are in 14th.
