Roos and Crows seek glory

Lucindale and Keith will face each other for the right to hold up the 2022 Kowree Naracoorte-Tatiara Football League premiership cup at Kingston this Saturday.

The clash of the two best teams for the season should be a classic encounter after a tough semi-final only two weeks ago where the Roos snuck over the line.

The Roos have been the benchmark all season and will go in to this game as favourites.

Players such as Tom Logan, Hamish Gordon, Sam Williams, Hamish Gordon, Henry Tregoweth and Henry Gould make great impacts around the ground.

They also have great firepower in front of goal through Hamish Gordon, Sam Williams, Josh Trembath and Henry Tregoweth as the midfield gives the forwards great service.

Scott Foord-Spriggs is also dangerous if you let him get out in the open to use his foot skills and he will love the open Kingston ground.

The veteran play of ex-AFL and SANFL player Tom Logan is also a big plus.

Keith on the other hand will be full of confidence going in to this game.

In the second semi-final the Crows looked down and out at three quarter time before lifting in the fourth, but could not hold on.

They will be much more confident this time they can get the job done.

The Crows have their own fire power with ex-SANFL star Lewis Hender leading the way in the forward lines.

Hender had a big preliminary final and should receive support from Billy Wade, who has been battling a hamstring problem, while George Johnson and Daniel Bibby can also hit the scoreboard when needed.

The Crows midfield is led by coach George Thring and he has some star power to work with including William McMurray, George Ryan and Jonathon Wilson.

Seb Schrieber and Ryan Bartlett will have their hands full trying to intercept the Roos’ forward passes.

Keith’s Nick Vandenberg and Lucindale’s Henry Gould will be central players in the ruck contest as well as both will be working hard to give their midfielders first use of the ball.

Lucindale will be fresh and ready to go after the week off, while the Crows will be confident of a great showing knowing they can finish games off strongly.

The only doubt about the Roos is about being match hardened after only playing one game within the last month by the time the ball is bounced on Saturday.

Prediction: Lucindale by 12 points
