Defenders rarely gain the plaudits generally reserved for the flashy midfielders and the goalkicking aces. But they are highly important members of any team and one in the Claremont side who has performed admirably in the first five matches of the season without basking in any sort of spotlight is back pocket specialist Greg Colbung.
The 17-year-old Colbung, from the Royals club in Albany, has shown steady improvement and has proved highly dependable. His clean Read More [+]

‘Royal Fremantle at 6168m is not long by modern standards. The course is well maintained with clearly defined Kikuyu fairways that are amongst the best all year round in the country, tidy tee boxes and Bent grass greens that are deceptively quick. However, when a shot goes astray the penalty is fair and there is always a chance to manufacture a shot from under the trees to get the ball back into play.’

The final quarter was just over 25 minutes old at the Claremont Showgrounds on Saturday when Claremont defender Aaron Holt hurled himself at the boot of Peel Thunder’s Mathew Brown to smother a shot at goal. And a minute later Ryan Neates applied a fierce tackle on Anthony Morabito to prevent him shooting for goal.
The Tigers were leading by 29 points and the contest was all sewn up in the home side’s favour. But Read More [+]

Claremont will host Peel Thunder in the first of its nine home games for the season at the Showgrounds this Saturday.
The Tigers are fresh off a bye in round five and will be looking to register their second win, while the Thunder are yet to record a victory this season.

A new-look Claremont side, with ten absent on under-18 duty and two on the injured list, moulded into a formidable combination and scored a most satisfying 20-point victory over East Fremantle (also without several star players) at East Fremantle Oval on Saturday morning.
The victory shot the Tigers into top spot on the premiership table, displacing South Fremantle, who suffered a surprise 30-point defeat at the hands of Swan Districts at Bassendean Oval.

Claremont have responded from their round three mauling by the Lions to defeat the Sharks by 18 points at East Fremantle Oval.
The Tigers overcame some early inaccuracy to prevail 14.15 (99) to 12.9 (81) and in the process improve their record to three wins and one loss heading into next week’s bye.
The Tigers got off to a flying start when Mathew Aitchison set up Ben Higgs for the opening goal of the game.

Five minutes into the second quarter of the match at East Fremantle Oval on Saturday Luke Blackwell passed to Andrew Foster for Claremont’s sixth goal.
This should have galvanised the Tigers, who led East Fremantle 6.2 to 6.1 and had their supporters looking for redemption after the horrible 80-point drubbing at the hands of Subiaco a week earlier.
But it had the opposite effect. The Sharks flexed their not inconsiderable muscle and wrenched control from Read More [+]
