The South West Football League colts side had a strong warm-up for the 2017 Landmark carnival with a fierce hit out against the Peel Thunder colts team.
The Peel side were effective early, kicking six unanswered goals in the first term.
The South West side slowly got a feel for the rhythm of the game with Tobi Morton scoring his side’s first goal.
Les Wallam was slick for the South West but small errors from his teammates caused costly turnovers. Ben Roberts, Wallam and Jacob Oakes added goals in the third, but Peel had all the answers.
Tyler Hoffman kicked the first goal of the final term before Roberts added his second and Jack Wharton bent the ball brilliantly off the boot for a major.
