Inaccurate Magpies secure Round 16 points

Busselton defeated Eaton at Glen Huon Reserve, in round sixteen of the SWFL premiership season, but in the process kicked on of the most inaccurate scores of the season.

Needing a big win to boost their percentage, Busselton won by 94 points, but it could have been significantly more, if not for some horrendous kicking.

Only the fourth quarter saw the Magpies kick more goals than behinds.

The match commenced with Eaton starting strongly, but eventually the Magpies started to get momentum and possession, but the wayward nature of the kicking was contagious, with no player immune as shot after shot, many from right in front missed the major opening.

After quarter time, where Busselton led by a point, Eaton failed to score another goal, while the Magpies kicked the next thirteen goals of the match.

Aidan Austen and Mitch Tenardi were amongst the best for Busselton, who remain seventh on the ladder, however they have now drawn level with Carey Park (sixth) and Donnybrook (fifth) in the race to the finals.

Busselton will host South Bunbury in a blockbuster next Saturday at Sir Stewart Bovell Park, while Eaton will head into the City to take on Bunbury at PC Payne Park.
