Peninsula Raiders Superules FC
The Masters travelled to Oval 2 Casey Fields for our first hit out with a new look match day lineup. We welcomed in 3 x debutants to the club and had ourselves set to open this years account with a win. Unfortunately our expectations out weighed our ability in the wet conditions and we ended
Clarky’s Comments – Legends Match Report Round 1 Vs Cranbourne As the huskies were deployed to drag us out onto the frozen tundra that was Casey’s Ice Station Zebra, the Raider boys were in good spirits. The thought of a full side replete with a Tugboat, and angry Morgs, a nippy Crivellero, a fit Gabe and
The Legends had a great day today, didn’t have to travel too far, no one got hurt as far as I can tell. Our best player did us proud in the Masters and as usual everyone chipped in to make it a lot of fun. Very proud of smithy and his Masters boys, we were
R7 – R8 Masters match reports Round 7 – saw us take on top of the table Parkdale at Parkdale. Our game plan & structure had to undergo significant change to cater for the conditions and the way the opposition go about their business.

After some soul searching, self analysis and quiet contemplation I’m ready for our next game. We have had two bad games in what I would call a ‘mini’ mid season form slump. Given the talent we had out of our regular line up Sunday started well and our first half was promising. Team structure, player
It was cold. Cold and wet. Fine in a heat wave, no good in Bundoora playing footy at 10.00am. The raiders legends having been denied a win all season, were up against some stiff competition, with Northern Districts also winless at the halfway mark of the season. After an inspiring pre match address by coach
Football is a game of highs and lows and unfortunately on Sunday we couldn’t of sunk any lower. We travelled to Cranbourne to take on a side that had only lost to sides above them on the ladder and although we had key players out and a bit of the man flu going round, we
The Legends were magnificent in their magnificence today. We played the ladder leaders Williamstown, who had literally beaten their first three opponents by 15 goals or more. The loss will be recorded in history but that won’t tell the story. We finished the game tackling harder then we started it. The backline bolstered by Leo
