By ZAC MILBANK

The West End State team has retained the Haydn Bunton Junior Cup with a gritty 13-point win against the WAFL at Adelaide Oval on Friday night.

Overcoming inaccuracy in front of goal and a sluggish start in the first term, the Croweaters strung together their fourth successive win against the Sandgropers with as many as 12 players making their senior State debut.

Now boasting a 50-48 win-loss record against their Nullarbor rivals, SA was led by Fos Williams Medallist James Rowe, who racked up 26 disposals, 11 marks and a goal in an exceptional display of fine foot skills.

Leading by the barest of margins at the final change, Jade Rawlings’ charges booted an alarming eight behinds in a row before wingman Marty Frederick converted his 25m set shot after a free kick for too high.

SA goalsneak Josh Hone then hit the post before bigman Connor Ballenden nailed his set shot from 45m out to seal the result for the hosts.
