Blues train rolls on

-

ROUND 3 of Old Scholars football promises some interestin­g challenges, one when Richmond tries to build on last week’s form when it plays host to DOSA.

Despite the loss of key position players the Blues have unearthed talent in their midfield, complement­ed by the acquisitio­n of former Roosters forward David Cragg, who bagged four goals against Hutchins. DOSA was pushed by St Virgil’s apart from a finalquart­er onslaught last week, but overall consistenc­y will be required. Jeff Fisher celebrates game No.100.

First-round winners OHA and Hutchins lock horns at Geilston Bay, with the Ships primed to turn the tables from last year’s eliminatio­n-final defeat. The Lions disappoint­ed last week but they could have Tom Allwright, William Hay and Henry Johnstone back.

University’s Grant King and Sam Chivers will each celebrate game 50 in their return bout with St Virgil’s. Rainbows are shining bright and should go three from three.
