Big First Quarter Sets Up Big Win For Magpies

Busselton kicked seven goals in the opening term against the Collie Eagles, setting up a 90 point win at Sir Stewart Bovell Park, in round ten of the Dale Alcock Homes South West, South West Football League season.

Jozef Parkinson played a great game today for the Magpies.

Despite the Eagles best efforts, the supply to the Magpies forward line was relentless, and not for the first time this season, Liam Creighton and Ryan Ekert combined to kick five goals each, while Jozef Parkinson also kicked five goals, a career high for Busselton.

Witht the trio kicking fifteen goals between them it was always going to be difficult for Collie who never game up, with the third quarter being the most productive, kicking three goals while restricting Busselton to four, on their way to kicking twenty four goals for the match.  A seven goal to two final term gave the home side a 90 point win, and top spot on the ladder at the end of the round.

Parkinson played particularly well, aside from the five goals he set up several others, while Bailey Sanford and Ethan Bowman also gained plenty of possessions.   Luke English continued his excellent form, while Paul Rinder and Jackson Bruck also played well for Collie.

Collie will head to Gloucester Park in round eleven to play the Hawks, while Busselton will face Dunsborough in Dunsborough, next Sunday.
