EDWARDSTOWN will aim to take down another top-five side when it travels to Kilburn in
division four action this weekend.
The Towns became the first team to knock off first-placed North Haven last round and can
continue their fight for a spot in the finals against the fourth-ranked Chics.
Edwardstown sits one competition point outside of the five after overcoming a slow start to
end North Haven’s 12-game winning run to start the season last Saturday.
The Towns trailed by 20 points at quarter-time before reeling in the Magpies and holding on in
a thrilling final term.
Edwardstown’s defence was sturdy, allowing only four majors after the first term.
While in attack Aaron Parsons booted four goals in his season debut.
Harry Tohl, Nick Somers and Liam Clarke were also key contributors in the impressive victory.
Kilburn is coming off a 20-point win over Salisbury at home.
The Chics led from start to finish to hold fourth spot and remain in the mix for a double chance.
Vincent Buckskin and Bradley Robertson (three goals) were solid for the hosts.
North Haven should have few problems returning to the winners list when it hosts bottom side
Hectorville on Saturday.
The Magpies won the early-season contest between the sides by 53 points.
The Hounds lost to Morphettville Park by 37 points last weekend.
Elsewhere, Eastern Park can consolidate its top-three spot at home to Colonel Light Gardens.
The Demons scraped over the line by three points against Gepps Cross on the weekend after a
fast finish from the Rams.
Colonel Light made an emphatic return to the winners circle with 67-point thumping of
Smithfield.
The victory lifted the Lions to a win outside the top-five ahead of the run home.
In other games, Morphettville Park and Gepps Cross will clash in a battle of top-five sides.
The Roos sit third while the Rams remain in fifth but with a huge fight on their hands to stay
there.
Morphies won by 50 points when the sides last clashed in round five.
Smithfield and Salisbury close out the round.
The Panthers desperately need a win to have any chance of staying up.
They sit five competition points back from the eighth-placed Magpies with five games
remaining
