In a performance that had their supporters struggling for superlatives, Trinity led St Bernards at every change, and by 85 points at the final siren.  In doing so, they vaulted over both St Bernards and Old Scotch on the ladder with two rounds of the competition season to play.  The Reserves however were never in the hunt while the Under-19s went down by 18 points to second-placed Old Essendon after Riley McDonald kicked six goals.  For details click here.

The season is over for the Thirds but it was a big day for all other Trinity teams, all playing at home, and all victorious against higher rated opposition.  The Seniors and Reserves accounted for Collegians by 19 and 33 points respectively but the Under-19s caused the biggest upset by downing third-placed Ormond – who last week inflicted Old Ivanhoe’s first defeat for the season – by 14 points.  Effervescent Jack Osborn (pictured) was among the best for the Seniors.  For details, click here. 

Few coaches have been stood down before their next match after winning a grand final.  But that was Simon's fate in 1997, after Old Trinity had won the 1996 B-Grade Grand Final.  His is the next profile in our Team of the Century series.

On a cold and windy Waverley Park, De La Salle was never headed and ran out comfortable winners by 37 points.  While Trinity outscored De La in the second half, recovery from a 51 point deficit at the long break was never really a prospect.  Brendan Iezzi (pictured) was again Trinity’s best player and is at long odds-on for Trinity's B&F.  The Reserves with Scott McPherson setting the example put in a spirited performance against likely finalists but went down by 60 points.  The Thirds and Under-19s however had comfortable victories at home, by 27 points over Kew and 58 points over Old Mentonians respectively.  For details click here. 

On a perfect day for football at Bulleen, Trinity led University Blues at the final break but was overwhelmed in the last quarter to go down by 20 points.  Clint Hillas (pictured) was judged Trinity's best.  The Reserves too went down by 75 points while, to round out a good day for the students, the Thirds were beaten by University Blacks by 25 points.  The Under-19s had a bye.  For details click here.

On an unusually heavy Daley Oval but in ideal weather conditions, Trinity recovered from a slow start to outlast Haileybury by 31 points.  Bolstered by the inclusion of players returning from injury, the Reserves too had a comfortable victory.  But close results went against Trinity in other matches, the Thirds going down to Caulfield by a solitary point and the Under-19s to Bulleen Templestowe by six points.  For details click here.   

While A Section had a bye this weekend, and the Seniors and Reserves relaxed and prepared for the long run home, it was business as usual for the Thirds and Under-19s.  At Bulleen, the Thirds were no match for St Bernards, while at Melbourne High School oval, the Under-19s outscored their opponents in every quarter and won by 60 points.  Dayne Hoffecker (pictured) was among the best for Trinity.  For details click here.
