2005, Oct. 12, The West Australian, story and photo under headline “Prescott prefers to stick with Claremont.”.  Claremont will retain the services of league coach Ashley Prescott for at least one more season after he declined an invitation to join AFL club Richmond.

The former Richmond and Fremantle AFL player could remain with Claremont longer than expected with negotiations under way to extend his tenure.  Prescott who guided the tigers to WAFL grand finals in his first two seasons at the helm was offered a player development role at Richmond’s VFL affiliated side Coburg.
