Pulteney

Conditions at Unley for the triple header v Pulteney were almost perfect for footy, if not a trifle cool for the spectators.   A mild westerly, worth maybe a goal or two, favoured “the hills” end of the ground whilst sunny breaks took the chill out of the air throughout the afternoon.   The odd patch of fine drizzle made no difference to the overall style of play.

After finishing 4^th in Season 2010 the Jets are keen to improve their standing in season 2011 and started that job by matching up against old rivals Pulteney in their round one clash at Morgan Oval.
