The West Coast Eagles State Amateur U/23’s have won a place in Sundays Grand Final of the Australian Amateur Football Council National Championships after defeating Tasmania and host-side South Australia.

The carnival format meant that each of the competing teams – Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and WA – played each other once in a modified length game with the two top ranked sides at the conclusion of matches playing in the Grand Final.

Leading one goal four to four points at the break, the South Australian side was found to have an extra player on the ground at the two minute mark of the second term and had their score –which had not changed since half time – erased.

The West Coast Eagles State Amateur Under 23’s have kept their hopes of winning the AAFC National Championship alive with a last gasp win against Tasmania in game one.

The AAFC National Championship format see’s the teams play two, 20 minute halves and it was the West Coast Eagles State Amateur Under 23’s on top by three points at the break. Tasmania rallied and went within a whisker of winning before WA kicked the last goal of the day to run out winners by two points.
