The Great Southern Storm have fallen short in their bid to win a maiden colts division at the Landmark Country Football Championships, losing to the South West by 36 points today.
After winning their first four games of the colts division at Mandurah’s David Grays Arena, the Storm went goalless in the first and third quarters and were beaten convincingly around the stoppages.
Tyreice Brown kicked one off the ground to give the Storm their first but the South West led by 14 points at half time and then snared the only goal of the third term as they headed into the last 22 points up.
South West shut out the faint Storm hopes when they piled on the first four goals of the last before the Storm restored some respectability with the final two goals of the decider.
Jarrad Fazioli was best afield for the South West who claimed a fourth straight colts title with the 8.9 (57) to 3.3 (21) victory.
