Chaironian Football League, Season '06

[Chairon]

Sport is not huge in Chairon but the one game that has attracted a sizeable following is, oddly enough, Aussie Rules. Seems the previous Araban was a bit of a footy buff, having encountered it on a diplomatic trip overseas, and the game kind of took off from there.

 

There's 5 teams in the league. Fifteen rounds a season, teams play each other three times and the top two sides play in the Grand Final to decide the champion.

 

Here's the results from Round 1, 2006.

 

Morecia North	v	Morecia South

2. 2 (14)   5.0 (30)
6. 5 (41)   7.3 (45)
12. 8 (80)   7.6 (48)
16.12 (108) 10.9 (69)

Goals: North: Baker 6, Neville 3	
         South: Hayden 6


Summary: In the local derby, the Hawks overcame a sluggish start to overwhelm the Swans by 39 points. Bill Baker and Tom Hayden kicked 6 goals each. Swans ruckman Victor Charles was reported for striking in the third quarter.


Archo  	v  Destin

4. 4 (28)   5.3 (33)
4. 8 (32)   9.3 (57)
5.12 (42)  12.5 (77)
5.12 (42)  19.8 (122)

Goals:  Archo : Callahan 2
          Destin: Vincenzi 7, Pryor 4, Slade 2


Summary: Archo were humiliated at home by the classy Destin side. Teenage sensation Arcangelo Vincenzi kicked seven on debut, while veteran Peter Slade dominated in the midfield. George Callahan was the best for a woeful Lions team that looks set for another horror season.


Parrian had the bye this week.
