You would think if they keep that side together they would jump a couple levels. Drubbing teams with footy scores isn't going to keep clubs in the lower end of the zone ladder
I think Kurraka Oval is a good venue for a zone league 3 grand final, excellent pitch.

BUT having both zone league 2 and 3 grand finals on at the same venue didn't work. No parking and only 2 dressing sheds were big issues. Surely zone league 2 and zone league 3 grand finals are big enough to be separate events? But overall would be happy to see another zl3 grand final out at Fletcher if there is only one field active.

Correct, Croatia controlled the game. Against them you need to be at the top of your game and take any decent chances that come your way.
