Claremont forward Tim Johnston took another important step on his comeback trail with Claremont’s 14 point win. Johnston has been hampered by hamstring injuries for the past 2 years. He kicked 2 goals in the win but created other opportunities for team-mates with clever use of the body and constructive play.   The previous weekend he kicked three goals for Claremont in the last quarter of that match.

Others who played well were Laine Spencer who kicked 5 goals, Jamie Merillo who grabbed 33 possessions, rover Brendan Green Dean Trovallo, James Ferguson and Trent Carroll.
