Former Claremont league captain John Munro, a stalwart of the club in the 1950s, has died at the age of 84.

Max Bentley exploded into action to dominate the third quarter in which he booted four of his side’s five goals.
No, the 18-year-old Bentley is not a key forward. He produced Read More [+]

Claremont continued their powerful march into the finals with an emphatic 59-point demolition of Swan Districts at Claremont Oval on Saturday when the Tigers restricted the Swans to just 9.11 in fine conditions.
There were numerous reasons for this modest total. One was the return to action of Trinity Handley, who excelled in his battle against dangerous Swans key forward Tim Geappen, restricting him to just one goal, a snap early in the third quarter.

The match hung tantalisingly in the balance early in the third quarter at Claremont Oval on Saturday morning before forward pocket specialist Jyrin Woods exploded into action and set Claremont on the path to victory over East Perth.
