FALCONS FAIL TO HOLD OFF TIGERS

Monday, August 31, 2015 - 3:03 PM - by Darrell Kent

WEST Perth appeared to have the game under control at the 10-minute mark of the last quarter against Claremont at HBF Arena on Saturday in the final home and away game of the season. The Falcons led by 25 points but the combination of only having one fit player on the bench and a Tigers side playing for a place in the finals was too much and they were overrun.

The first quarter was a scrappy affair with both sides finding it difficult to kick goals. A number of behinds were scored but only three majors. The first went to Aidan Lynch who bounced one through at the five-minute mark. Right on the 30-minute mark Trent Manzone took possession from a throw in to slot one for the Falcons and give them a four-point quarter-time advantage; 2.4 (16) to 1.6 (12) after a scrappy opening term.

Sunday, August 30, 2015 - 2:32 PM - by Chris Pike

WEST Perth had a taste of its own medicine at HBF Arena on Saturday with Claremont kicking the last four goals of the game to come back from trailing by 25 points during the last quarter to record the crucial two-point victory.

By the time West Perth kicked the first two goals of the last quarter through Matt Fowler and Steve Potente, the Falcons looked set to win their 10th straight match at HBF Arena this season.

West Perth has made a habit of finishing strongly right throughout the season as well but Claremont had its finals position up for grabs, and found something in the last 20 minutes to kick the final four goals of the game to win 9.15 (69) to 10.7 (67).
