Wesley Curtin Amateur Football Club is looking to create history in the WA Amateur Football League this weekend as they take on two-time reigning Premiers, University Football Club, in the WAAFL A Grade Grand Final at Medibank Stadium.

2012 B Grade Premiers, Wesley Curtin is striving to become the first team ever to be promoted to the A Grade competition and win the Premiership in the same year.

In what has been a highly successful season for the Club, finishing second on the A Grade ladder, Wesley Curtin Head Coach Earl Spalding said he understands the significance of this weekend’s game.

“The Club has never won an A grade premiership, so to do that regardless of where we were last year, would be an immense achievement.”

Spalding, with a a wealth of football history under his belt including 300 games and an AFL Premiership with Carlton, WAFL coach and AFL Assistant coaching experience, is under no impression this will be an easy game.

“It’ll be a very close game that might go down to the wire. Both teams are very evenly matched”

Grand Final Opponents, University, will be looking to create their own club history, and will play on Saturday to win their third consecutive A Grade Premiership.

Both teams are looking forward to playing on the WAFL ground on Saturday in a game that will showcase the best football the WAAFL has to offer.
