Seville juniors prove too strong

WITH the arrival of some welcome rain, Monbulk Junior Football Club had its first taste of wet and slippery conditions for the third round of games at the weekend. Some exciting footy, especially in the U16s match with the crowd right behind the boys, but unfortunately Seville proved too strong on the day.
