Round 1

Kormilda took a 8 point lead into the first change with Troy Martip looking promising early kicking 2 in the first.
The second quarter was dominated by Darwin’s big giant Cameron Jones who was everywhere; he took strong grabs all around the ground and marked and goals just before half time to lock the scores up. The half time chat with Darwin’s new coach Tom Frawley must of worked because in the 3rd kicked 3 goals to Kormilda 2point, The Darwin lad’s were very physical during the quarter with a lot of hard hitting bumps and strong tackles.
