Billed as the heavyweight bout of the early season, Kempsey v JackinGoff lasted about as long as a country pub raffle. Kempsey 164, JackinGoff 97 — a 67-point demolition that rearranged the premiership market before September was out. Pete's mob have scored 145, 165 and 164 in three weeks and the rest of the league is quietly checking the fixture for their turn.
In the undercard, Deep Balls and Grimace won a game of football (steady), MaHomie survived Mals Pals by 4.3, and Surtainly finally started the right quarterback and beat Kmet by 41. Progress takes many forms.
