Better players on the day were Maguire, Justin Langridge, Nick Willis, Matt Johnson, Mitch Graham and Chris Brabazon.

The campaign kicked off on Thursday when the team played its first game just hours after they arrived in Perth.

It was an easy win against Eastern Districts with the final score being 20.9.129 to 7.4.46.

Played in wet conditions, Goldfields managed an early lead after booting 10 goals in the first quarter.

The first-quarter break scoreboard read 10.3 to 1.1.

They only managed another 10 goals throughout the game but Gallagher said it was the “start from heaven” which won them the game.

Maguire kicked eight goals to be the games’ leading goalkicker.

He was supported by Tyron Ward with three and Rhys O’Loughlin and Stephen Freemantle, both with two.

Better players included Johnson, Chris Skidmore, Willis and Maguire.

The boys followed up Thursday’s big win with another magical performance on Friday against Central Wheatbelt.

Gallagher said despite being a low scoring match, the boys found Central Wheatbelt tough competitors.

The first quarter was neck-and-neck with only a point separating the teams at the break. A good second quarter saw Goldfields kick four goals to Central Wheatbelt’s one, giving them a nice break.

The boys relapsed a little in the third but managed to get their game together in the fourth for a convincing win with a final score of 9.10.64 to 6.3.39.

Awards from the carnival included The Goldfields Fyson medal, presented to Johnson. Langridge won the Landmark medal for the fairest and best in the B division grand final.

The JJ Lussick Award for umpire of the carnival went to Steven Dalgleish.

Langridge and Maguire were selected to be part of the 2008 Landmark Country All Stars.

TWO IN A ROW

THE Goldfields Football League’s team secured it’s second B division win in as many years making its bid for A division selection all the more realistic.

League chairman Hugh Gallagher was proud of his side’s second consecutive win and said his dream of entering a team in the top grade may be realised next year.

Goldfields won an A-grade flag at the competition in the early 1990s but hadn’t entered into the top grade in the past few years.

He said the 25-players who competed this year had the skills to match the best.

The 25-man squad which travelled to Perth last Thursday featured equal representation from all clubs in the local league.

Gallagher said every player stood up to the mark in each game showing great teamwork.

“We weren’t relaying on any one person to be their best on the day to win,” he said.

“The team’s competitive spirit was quite special.”

Gallagher said getting the team together to train in the six weeks leading up to the competition was tough, given many were shift workers.
