A Grade, BITS Saints v Yeppoon Swans..... The two power house clubs in the league and the two hot favourites to contest this season’s Grand Final have already played each other 3 times this year with the Swans the winners in rounds 4 and 14 14.8(92) to BITS 6.11 (47) ....and 19.2 (135) to BITS 4.9 (33) respectively, and the Saints the victors in Round 9 ....15.12 (102) and the Swans 8.6 (54_ .
The home ground advantage was most probably the governing factor in all three of theses games with travelling times and shift work all a part of the equation.
BITS Dan Hunt won the Bernie Gottke Medal with a runaway 26 votes at the presentation night on Wednesday while their lanky full forward Luke O’Shea took the the award for leading goal kicker for the home and away season with 92 goals to his credit.
The Swans also figured strongly in the vote count on the night and this match is highly regarded as the having the potential for the one of the best games for years.
