MAGPIES Open team made hard work of their final round game last week against the Bunbury Bulldogs, barely managing to hold on to take the points and secure the minor premiership. Magpies made an excellent start and piled on a five-goal lead before the Bulldogs knew what had hit them. However a determined and experienced Bulldogs line up gave chase late in the first quarter to put themselves ahead at the first break. This set the pattern for the entire game: when Magpies hopped ahead, the Bulldogs chased the bone.
