Port Douglas Crocs at top of ladder after seven wins
THE Port Douglas Crocs, after a slow start to the season, have completely turned their campaign around and now find themselves sitting pretty on top of the AFL Cairns senior ladder after two massive wins against the competition’s heavyweights.
The Crocs have found themselves on an ultimate momentum wave recently, winning their last seven games leading them to climb back to top spot.
The Crocs found themselves with a tough two game stretch but took care of business demolishing the Central Trinity Beach Bulldogs by 119 points with a 162-43 scoreline, giving the crocs a massive percentage boost.
Their bigger challenge followed the next week with a matchup against the Crocs’ old foe - the Cairns Saints.
This Saints’ side wasn’t any regular Saints’ side though as they had a special guest for this game, 221 game AFL veteran Charlie Dixon.
The Crocs having a huge challenge put up against them showed their muscle winning by 20 points 77-57 and keeping Charlie Dixon goalless.
The Crocs women’s team have also made another step closer to solidifying their first finals berth in the club’s history with a nail biting six-point win against the Cairns Saints, now putting them three wins clear of fifth place.
With only seven rounds left of the AFL Cairns season the women are taking it week by week as they approach finals.
Their next game comes against the ladder-leading Centrals Trinity Beach Bulldogs where they look to snag an upset win and just about punch their ticket to finals.
