CROCS KEEP THE WINNING RUN ALIVE AT NORBUILT 🐊🏉
SAGE Landscape Material Supplies Palmerston Golf and Country Club
The Crocs MPL scored a gritty win at Norbuilt Oval, overcoming a determined PINT Football Club outfit 11.6 (72) to 6.10 (46) to remain unbeaten in the 2026-27 season.
Played in the aftermath of a heavy downpour, the contest was a test of composure and ball control, with both defences making life difficult in the opening term. Mitchell Bidmade struck early for the Crocs before Beau Schwarze added a second late in the quarter, giving the home side a 13-point advantage at the first break.
PINT found some momentum in the second, but Districts had answers. Seth Smith marked strongly and Stanley Waistcoat provided the highlight of the night, his second goal coming from a brilliant snap that brought the home crowd to its feet. Yes, pictures of said snap are here👇
The Crocs began to take control after half-time. Wyatt continued to give the midfield first use, while Jarred Joyce and Jed Anderson capitalised up forward as Districts stretched the margin. PINT battled on, but their inaccuracy in front of goal proved costly against a Crocs side that made the most of its opportunities.
Smith added another in the final term to help put the result beyond doubt. A late goal from PINT offered some consolation, but the Crocs had done enough to secure a hard-earned home victory.
It wasn't always pretty in the wet, but the Crocs found a way to get the job done. The unbeaten run continues.
