Deegan Cummings has ensured the Apprentice & Traineeship Colts team remains undefeated, after kicking a goal in the final minute of the CBH Colts Country Championships against the Great Northern, at Pinjarra.
The South West as a result of the win and other results already today, are now the only undefeated side, with one final match before the Grand Final at 4.00pm.
In a low scoring match on a heavy ground, Jaxon Graham opened the scoring for the Great Northern, kicking a goal courtesy of a free kick. 
Midway through the quarter, Hayze Griffiths snapped a good goal from the pocket to put the South West back in front. Both defensive units were well on top, but another free kick to the Great Northern saw Mick Horstman goal on the stroke of half time, putting Great Northern four points in front.
The second half was dominated by the South West who peppered the goals but couldn’t find the major opening. With 90 seconds remaining, Nic Le Roux received a free kick 55m out from goal, and we was able to get the ball to the top of the goal square where Deegan Cummings took a great pack mark, and duly converted with thirty seconds left on the clock. The South West were able to go forward again as the siren sounded, giving the defending Champions a four point win.
South West will play Regional Districts in their final group match at 3.00pm, while in another critical fixture, Great Northern play Peel with the winner of that match most likely to play off in the Grand Final as both of those teams have large percentages. South West are in the box seat to make the grand final, but need to ensure they defeat Regional Districts or ensure their percentage is higher that Great Southern Storm who can still make the Grand Final, should they have a large win over the Kimberley.
