The Magpies sewed up the 2009 EAFL Premiership this Saturday by taking down Boston at home at Tibbetts Brook Park. In extremely muddy conditions reminiscent of June’s slosh-fest against Baltimore-Washington, the home team kept the visitors goalless, taking control of the game in the second half after a rousing speech from coach Rob Oliver. This is the Pies’ first top-of-the-ladder finish in the EAFL since 2005, ousting reigning champions for the past 2 years, the Baltimore-Washington Eagles.
The Pies dedicated the victory to club stalwart and former president Doug Lewis, who celebrated his 100th game on Saturday – no small achievement in a league that plays only about 10 games a year! Congratulations to Dougie, a true Magpie Legend, on his fantastic achievement.
