No that was debunked. Lindisfarne had a fifty game losing streak, beat Sorell on the last kick of a match at Anzac Park to win by 4 points and then went on to lose their next eighteen.
They had a run of 1-68-0 at one point back then, I think it was 2-77-0 before they began turning things around.

58 now. Who'd Channel end up beating to break the drought?

Cracking contest out at the bike track today with SVC holding the chooks out by 3 points on a freezing arvo. Their poor percentage keeping them out of the four.
Beans got a break on Uni to keep third spot in a scrappy win in the wet down at the Uni by just over four goals and the Ships went two and half game clear on top thrashing Richmond over at Geilston Bay.

Apparently they had 5 come down with covid overnight??? Not sure about that.

I have a very good mate that played almost all of that period when they lost that 62 on the trot, said it was a very tough time, he'd previously been at Kermandie, Kingborough and had a brief trundle with Cygnet.
Reckoned that for some reason they always matched up well with DOSA despite being at opposite ends of the ladder for the entire time in the Old Scholars and that they ended up going to North Hobart and rolling DOSA to break the streak. Celebrations – HUGE!
7th July 2007 they defeated Triabunna by 28 points up at Triabunna, their next victory was 14th May 2011 over DOSA at North Hobart Oval by 18 points.

Beans and DOSA at Queenborough got called off because of a Hutchins player breaking his leg in the ressies. Poor bugger was laying on the ground for nearly 3 hours before the ambos turned up! No lights down the Bay so the seniors never went ahead.
Be interesting whether they replay it or split the points again after round 1 when that game got called off. Any chance DOSA had of gaining top spot almost certainly gone now.
Ships beat the Saints easily over at the Shipyard and Uni flogged Richmond at Uni.

You certainly don't want to be waiting for an ambulance at the moment!

It’s an amazing situation given the game was being played literally five mins or so away from the RHH!
