Besides a WAFL grand final or a regular Perth Glory match I have never (I could be wrong here) experienced the abundant nature of eftpos at the venue. The entry was 10 dollars and you could pay by cash or card. Given the stereotypical demographic in Western Australia you could say to me of course this was to be expected but it is time Australia moved with the times as through my travels I have seen this happen rather often.
UWA were in control for most of the game but there were moments where Cottesloe's hard work and persistence paid off for two tries after a rather unrewarding first half for them. Cottesloe had a player sent off in the second half for a dangerous tackle that turned the UWA player up off the ground and landed upside down. A small fight broke out between the two sides due to the situation but no sin-bins from the scuffles. UWA ended up Pindan Premier Grade winners 16 points to 13.
As for food there was the usual rubbish that i refused to buy as it was Mrs Macs pies and sausage rolls etc. The point is to sample food provided by the respective home side's own dedicated thankless volunteers providing much needed sustenance for the fans watching the games consuming beverages of the alcoholic variety.
They did have a hot dog, burger and boerewors stand which i sampled. The boerewors were 6 dollars and well while delicious 6 dollars is a rip off. Hot dogs were at 3 dollars and that is a reasonable price for them at any sporting venue in Perth.
UWA sports fields had alcohol available with spirits at 8 dollars and many beers at the 7 dollar range. I was on this occasion having a few Bundaberg Reds as they are not sold often at venues and is a nicer variety of Bundaberg rum premixed.
If you are not doing anything on a sunday and enjoy your rugby then perhaps you should consider heading down to watch your local premier grade side for next seasons competition. Despite the slightly expensive food it was a great day out.
