Western Districts has caused another big upset as they defeated Dudley United by two points, 8.7 (55) to 8.5 (53), to advance to the Kangaroo Island Football League (KIFL) Grand Final next Saturday (4/9) against minor premier Wisanger at Parndana. The Saints finished fifth (bottom) of the KIFL ladder at the end of the minor round but due to a change in the finals set up this season, they found themselves in the major round. They have had a fairytale run with wins over Kingscote, Parndana and now Dudley United. It was a major turnaround yesterday for Western Districts as in their two meetings with the Eagles in the minor round, they had lost by a combined 213 points! Josh Graham, Lucas Boyle and Lleyton Hedges all kicked two goals for the Saints, while Clayton Willson booted three goals for Dudley United. Graham, Cam Florance, Ty Boyle, Tim Larcombe and Henry Riggs were named best for the victorious Saints. For the Eagles, Zak Keir, Kayne Wheaton, Toby Wheaton, Clayton Willson and Nathan Dickson were their best.
