1991 WKFA V EKFA

The WKFA for the second year won the East meets West Football Challenge Cup. It was a tight game with some excellent football played by both sides. EKFA did well to play on a much bigger oval than to which they're accustomed. Certainly, it was a much stronger team than the 1990 team.

WKFA: 13 goals 10 (88) d EKFA 8 goals 12 (60)

Best player was Darren Finlay (EKFA)

Both Football Associations should be congratulated for organising this challenge, northern footballers have little chance to show off their football skills: there is no doubt that there is a huge pool of talent available. After the game, both teams were presented with medallions, and the WKFA Captain Alan Douglas with the Perpetual Shield and silver Challenge Champions' Cup. Also the Combined Kimberley All Stars Representative Football side was announced for 1992.

From the WKFA:

Timmy Carter, Robbie Banfield, Andrew Cox, Keith Kitchener, Wayne Edgar, Justin King, Tony Hutchinson, Albert Dann, Terry Cox, John Hutchinson, Craig Collins, Gerard Hunt, Alan Douglas - Captain.

WKFA coach Alan Bishop hopes that in the future, a Kimberley side be sent to the Country Championships held in Perth or at least a Kimberley team to challenge a Pilbara team.
