Men’s PC v Greensborough (PF)
Pennant C: Kew vs. Greensborough (1-0)
They say that sometimes there is a moment before a momentous occasion where your destiny reveals itself. Its almost like watching your personal slide show before the event. As I rubbed my eyes at 5:32 I winced, hoping for that moment of clarity, looking for the “sign” that everything would [...]
Women’s SL2 v Southern (EF)
First (and last) final
Kew (3) v Southern (4)
The week leading up to this game was very interesting. We did some research on Southern in their Round 18 game. Noted was ‘Tall Jan’ and the ‘speedy playmaker’. The cursive ‘w’ was the style of play that would suit and Amy’s ‘tagging’ ability was called for. So…Tuesday’s [...]

Men’s PB v Southern (EF)
KEW 4 – Southern 5
A thrashing of Waverley (7-1) the week before gave the PB boys every chance to play finals. Unfortunately things did not go to script and Southern beat Camberwell to edge a point in front of us. It was all down to Essendon (second last) to beat Greenborough (third). News filtered [...]
Men’s PC v Doncaster (QF)
Kew vs. Doncaster (1-2)
Kew opened its finals campaign with a qualifying final against the lemon and lime’s of Doncaster in a top of the table Qualifying Final.
But before we look at the game we it might be worthwhile examining the ‘parable of the broken window’.
The parable describes a shopkeeper whose window is broken [...]
Men’s PE v MCC (EF)
Kew 3 defeated MCC 1
It has often been said that pressure can determine one’s actions. Given that The Mighty fours had no pressure on Elimination Final Day, perhaps that is why they decided to play their best game of the year when it counted most.
Up until Monday morning, the Kew Boys were placed 6th on [...]
Men’s M1W v Greensborough (EF)
Kew Sopranos 4 def Greensborough 2
Goals: Ben Hartung 2, Richard Clancy 1, Pat Nicholls 1
There is a saying that “Perfect Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.” Well the Sopranos certainly proved the exception to the rule this week. After a stellar performance by all and sundry at the Final Round Harp celebrations, we were all a little surprised [...]
Men’s M3N v Footscray (EF)
Kew 2 – Footscray 3 The KEW boys all arrived well and truly pumped (no hangovers) for the elimination final, against Footscray at F-2. Both games it he home and away season were draws.
Accustomed to less than 5 minutes to warm up, the boys had 15 minutes to kill before the starting whistle. A couple [...]

Half time Kew 3 – ALB 2
Strong [...]
Women’s M2S v TEMs (R18)
This round the Kew ladies helped support TEMS Breast Cancer Awareness weekend through a kind donation and wore pink ribbons that Avis tells me she wove herself. (Is there anything this lady can’t do) Fantastic effort by the TEMS club. Well last round for the season and it came down to this, if the Bourgh [...]
