QUEENSCLIFF celebrated its club champion Tom Limb with an emphatic win against a “horrendous” Geelong Amateurs side.

Limb was an instrumental contributor in his 200th game for the Coutas, as Queenscliff ran out 14.7 (91) to 6.10 (40) winners against the Ammos.

Coutas coach Rory Nichol said it was a “special day” to celebrate the three-time premiership player.

BFL: Queenscliff v Geelong Amateur. No 20 Tom Limb for Queenscliff running through the Flag.

“Tommy’s been a champion at this club, so to be able to get the win on his 200th was pretty special,” he said.

“It’s pretty amazing, there’s some young guys here who were little kids at school when Limby was playing, now they’re running out and playing in his 200th.

“The conditions didn’t really lend themselves to a clean game of footy, but we moved the ball pretty well, kicked straight and ultimately had a good day on the park.”
