1989 Colts Premiership Reunion

Wednesday, July 17, 2019 - 3:06 PM

On the weekend prior to the league game the 1989 Colts Premiership team met up. 

Thanks to Jeff Lind and Mick Fuller who were the organisers.

30 years on from the historic 51 point win over East Perth at Subiaco Oval, the playing group were able to catch up and share memories.

                    After finishing in 2nd position on the ladder the colts team went on to be premiers that year.   With 7 different goal kickers and 4 goals each from Williston and Splicker the teams efforts paid off and can be looked back on fondly.

 

 

 

With 12 wins to 9 losses that season the team worked together to achieve success and bring home the premiership.  A historical win for the colt’s team which then saw Subiaco go 29 years without a colt’s premiership. This drought was broken last year by the 2018 Colts premiers.
