Tigers rally after half-time to topple Kalgoorlie in GFL colts

Boulder produced a three-goal second half to edge out defending premiers Kalgoorlie by 13 points, 5.8 (38) to 4.1 (25), last Saturday in round two of the Goldfields Football League’s colts competition.

In the lone match played in the grade, Kalgoorlie led by two points at half-time but were held to just one major after the main break.

Eric Walter, Steven Wanoa-Katene, Jordan Emsley, Mitchell Hobbs and Rolie Wells each hit the scoreboard for Boulder. Zinzan Clark booted two goals for the Roos.

Despite the result, Kalgoorlie hold first place on percentage over Mines Rovers and Boulder, who each have a win.

Round three will be played on Saturday at Sir Richard Moore Sports Centre when Kalgoorlie clash with Mines Rovers at 10.30am.

In last weekend’s round of reserves matches, Jacob Potts staked a claim for league selection with seven goals in Mines Rovers’ big win against Kambalda, 22.11 (143) to 0.0 (0).

Potts’ display in attack was supported by Chris Stranos (five goals) and Kevin Lewis (four goals) as the Diorites cruised to a second victory to open the season.

In the other clash, Ryan Dickinson booted five goals in Boulder’s comfortable win against Kalgoorlie, 16.8 (104) to 3.3 (21).

Malachi Waters kicked three goals for the Tigers, as did Glenn Gascoyne for Kalgoorlie.

After a big start, Boulder iced the result with an eight-goal second half.
