The Western Magpies Division 4 team aka the Woodsmen have had a gutsy win over close rivals Morningside under what can only be described as dim conditions at Morningside on Friday week ago.

The win may be enough to secure a home Elimination Final against the same opponent on Friday night.. 

The Woodies won despite a number of injuries  and at one stage the umpire checked the numbers before he bounced the ball after a goal and told of skipper Andrew Thomson that the team did not have a 6-6-6- formation, to which "Thommo" replied , "We only have 17 on the ground so how would you like us to line up?"
