In what was billed as a very early Grand Final preview, Old Xaverians played host to Old Brighton at Toorak Park on Saturday. It certainly lived up to that billing, the scores level at half-time, and it went right down to the wire with Old Brighton holding on by 3 points.
Hear the full Saturday warm-up with Joe Pignataro and Josh Heriot, along with pre-game interviews from James Byrne (Old Xaverians coach) and Greg Hutchison (Old Brighton), a half-time chat with Old Xaverians President Matt Cosgrave, and one of the best players on the ground from Old Brighton, Petrus Olivier.
