Whether it is the Colts or the League, it will be a Bunbury Derby to kick start the 2025 Dale Alcock Homes South West, SWFL Finals Series, with the Qualfiying Final to be played at Hands Memorial Oval on Saturday afternoon.
The two oldest clubs with the longest rivalry in the SWFL will play for the 199th time, with South Bunbury having the edge in recent times, having won the last seven encounters between the two sides, including the round nineteen clash two weeks ago at the same venue.
On that occassion Bunbury flew out of the blocks and dominated the opening half, and still led deep into the third term before the Tigers staged a remarkable comeback to win by ten points.
The match will be played in fine, sunny conditions with next to no wind which will suit both sides running game.
The Tigers finished second and the Bulldogs third to set up this clash with both sides having players in very good form. Dylan Heasman kicked seven goals last Sunday in terrible conditions at Payne Park and will need to be watched closely, while the Tigers will be looking to win for their inspirational Captain, Kevin Chitty, who plays his 100th League match for the club.
