Footballers suffer a wide variety of injuries which keep them on the sidelines. But fresh ground was broken last week when a spider prevented Claremont’s promising teenage defender Harry Sinclair from taking part in any of the club’s three scratch matches against Peel Thunder at Rushton Park on Saturday.

However, he recovered well enough to travel to Mandurah and helped out as a runner in the reserves practice match.
Claremont open their home-and-away season against East Perth at Medibank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and will be looking for some early momentum as the team looks to build on its fifth-place finish from 2015.
