Andrew Thomson
Mick Ford's Tyrendarra were defeated in their South West District Grand Final played at Portland on Saturday.
Ford's team were underdogs against raging favourite Heywood and went down in a tough and tight contest 8.17-65 to 5.12-42. It was not a good day for Tyrendarra as they also went down in the Reserves.
Another Western Magpies favourite son in Peter Kilroy also suffered a finals defeat on Saturday, this time in a Sydney AFL Preliminary Final for University of Technology, Sydney (UTS Bats) Reserves against Sydney University, 5.10-40 to 5.7-37.
Kilroy has been playing ressies due to restricted training and availability but was named one of his side's best.
