VAFA Premier B – Old Brighton v Fitzroy: Silver linings

July 19, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Fitzroy travelled to the beach suburb of Brighton to take on the Old Boys, the form side of Premier B, down there. A close contest until three quarter time, the game slipped away from the Roys in the end. But there was much to take from the performance and the prospects for the season remain good. Nick Marshall tells the story.

Come down to Brunswick Street Oval this Saturday (July 23) for the Reds Foundation Lunch (featuring various Almanac contributors) followed by the important clash against the respected St Bede’s/Mentone side.
