After being to a few Gwelup matches where they play in black home shirts it was a little confusing to find out that Fremantle too, wear black as home shirts with Gwelup wearing the more customary red shirt, customary I guess growing up and watching Western Knights and the great Melbourne Knights play in red.
Anyway the game was a thoroughly entertaining match with the game going end to end and a few rash challenges but nothing too controversial. The only decision of note was a rather 'easy' fall in the box awarded to Fremantle for a penalty but was saved by the Gwelup keeper. Fremantle were in control the whole game but a brilliant strike from outside the box to beat the keeper at the far post in the top corner and another strike this time on the left wing to hit into the top right of the net were the highlights of the match.
Fremantle ran out 4-2 winners over Gwelup; however the action didn't stop there as the food is what also made it a great day out! The ćevapi burger was absolutely stunning. I would have to say it rivals the great burgers produced at Western Knights games, it was mouth-watering pleasure. The bread was fresh the tomato was nice and lettuce was not feeling like it had sand in it (Take note Perth restaurants and burger chains, wash your lettuce!) and sauce really wasn't overpowering the rest of the burger. With it priced at 5 dollars it was very reasonable, throw in a 2 dollar can of cool drink and made it even better.
Chocolates and lollies were 2 dollars and that was very reasonable. They had beers available but this occasion because I was driving I didn't try any alcoholic beverages on this occasion. My apologies all however they had plenty there and Heineken was a beer of choice there I noticed.
If you are starving and want a good feed head down to Len Packham Reserve in Coolbellup on a Fremantle home match and taste some of the best football burgers you will ever have!
