Peninsula Raiders Superules FC
Reserves Rnd 3 were on the road again, this time to Waverley, really Oakleigh which sort of felt like Clayton We spoke pre game of improvement needed from last weeks poor performance against Bayside around voice, accountability for a man and first option ball use, the boys needed to keep it basic to get some
The 45s had the privilege of playing at the proper Frankston footy ground, but unfortunately we had to start at 9.30am. Beautiful place to play, great facilities, sunny and little wind. What could possibly go wrong you ask? We played as well as they let us on the slippery dewy surface, the ball felt like
Legends Round 2 Raiders V Essendon Coburg at Coburg, Essendon at Airport West and Waverley on Mars. Life in the Legends is one big long road trip punctuated by petrol stops, a Maccas drive thrus and piss stops after the bottleshop stop. For the last 542 million years or certainly since the Paleozoic Era (certainly
Round 2 the Reserves travelled up the Nepean Hwy to Highett to play Bayside Saints. Unfortunately we lost CMac in the warm up and from there our day was pretty ordinary across the board. Bayside came to play and they played their home ground well with good spread and smart plays to advantage. We struggled
A very tired and emotional bunch of over 45s will head off to bed now, and there will be worse to come tomorrow morning. A cracking game from our boys today and a comfortable win. Six different players from last game with Phil Stoney making his debut for the club and Bradders playing his 100th

The Reserves took on Cranbourne in round 1, which was always going to be a good hit out and gauge on where the group was at. We started off the game well and brought good pressure and contest to the opposition, this continued into the second quarter where our backline and midfield worked together well
The over 45s had a cracking morning winning by plenty. Not sure who was the best but the skippa Stevie was kinda inspirational. No passengers today, however my little girl Ada asked me at three quarter time if I’d been on the ground yet. JV and Juppy literally ran themselves to exhaustion just as I
Round 6 v South Yarra On a perfect day for Football apart from the howling gale and driving rain. The Legends took to the Raiderdome against South Yarra. With only 18 fit Legends from the usual team we called on Bradders, Parksy and Noons (50th game for the Raiders) to help us out. With the
