Game #960, 1/9/2007 Round 22 @ Norwood Oval
Centrals 16.15(111) def. Norwood 8.12(60)

In beating Norwood, Centrals equalled its best ever minor round performance of 18 wins and 2 losses. The only worry is, the last time we were this good was 2002.

Not much of a game to watch really. Plenty of errors and a distinct lack of intensity from both sides. Centrals no doubt had bigger things in mind, whilst Norwood were probably thinking about the cricket season.
