Lyrebirds meet the Possums at the Grove on Thursday night. Considered to be the biggest rivalry in FCFL history, this matchup dates back back to the first ever FCFL grand final. The Lyrebirds were leading the season 4-0, they had won every single game. They beat the Kookaburras at The Grove and they got into the Grand Final.

The Game was epic, but by the end of the first half the Lyrebirds were leading 40-15, Then in second half the Possums started to come back. It all finished by a siren goal from Colin Patterson. The Possums won 51-52! I don’t know what Hump Cloulak said at half-time but it won the Possums the game.

This match is unlikely to be close but the Lyrebirds have to win it to continue their campaign.
