Round 17 Football Department Update

Round 17 Football Department Update

In round 17 the Colts will play against Subiaco at Leederville Oval in the battle of the co-tenants, this will be an away game for the EPFC with bounce down at 9:00am. With both clubs coming off the bye, this should be a really good game of colts footy.

 THE COLTS SQUAD

We have made 5 changes to the side that last played v Peel Thunder in round 15.  This week we will have 2 x debutant making their EPFC debut and the best part is they are brothers. Joshua and Adam Edwards from the Tigers Football Club in Manjimup will both come into the side and pull the EPFC jumper on for the first time. Congratulations to both boys and their family. Also, into the side come Maxx Della Franca (Southerners), Maxx has missed several weeks through injury and will be looking to pick up where he left off. Daniel Moore (Broome Bulls) returns to the colts after spending time with the senior program, Daniel adapted well to senior footy and showed that he didn’t look out of place at that level. The last of our 5 changes is Bailey Maxwell (Deanmill), Bailey is a 200cm ruck prospect that has put in a mountain of effort to come to training and games here in Perth, we decided to let Bailey freshen up a bit back home for a few weeks and now we bring him back into the side.

Out of the side goes Lex Homsany (T/A), Harry Micallef (Noranda), Tyler Lindberg (Busselton), Thanakhan Chaichana (Noranda), Owen Cushing (Coolbinia).

We look forward to all Royals supporters getting down to Leederville Oval to support the club.
