We have a fantastic round of matches in Murray League Football this week. Mulwala clash with Echuca United in what is undoubtedly the match of the round. Big improvers Tongala get to test themselves against Cobram, while Numurkah will get the opportunity to see how much they have improved when they take on Finley. The other 3 games all appear on paper to be fairly evenly matched, so results could go either way.

An ‘ugly’ win is still a win and Moama coach Simon Maddox could not be happier his team is off the mark for season 2013.

BOOM Mulwala recruit Kyle Archibald says Finley deserves to start favourites in Saturday night’s blockbuster Murray league clash.

MURRAY Magpies coach Ken Mansell says the financial demands of would-be recruits has left him gobsmacked. He said clubs now found themselves in a bidding war for recruits as the player pool diminished.

COBRAM co-coach Trevor Mills admitted he didn’t know what to expect from his team in its first round match against Barooga on Saturday.

A 10-goal last quarter by Echuca United laid waste to an otherwise competitive match against Moama at Moama Recreation Reserve on Good Friday.

It is hard to have a premiership hangover when 15 players did not feature in the side which clinched the flag.

From the Shepp News
Echuca coach Cameron Stewart may have known club champion Rhys Archard for less than two years, but says he has already figured him out.
Stewart sees through what he calls Archard’s ‘‘carefree attitude’’.
‘‘He comes across that he doesn’t care ... but deep down, if you look between those eyes, he certainly cares about the place,’’ Stewart said.
