Saturday, March 26, 2016 - 10:49 PM - by Chris Pike
WEST Perth and Peel Thunder both scored their first victories of 2016, and South Fremantle remained unbeaten in tough and wet conditions for Saturday's Round 2 WAFL matches. Following Subiaco's 13.15 (93) to 9.8 (62) victory on Good Friday at Medibank Stadium over East Perth, the wet weather rolled in on Saturday to make for a difficult day of football early in the new season. That saw Swan Districts record its lowest ever score in the club's 82-year history with South Fremantle handing them a 9.14 (68) to 2.6 (18) defeat at Steel Blue Oval.
