sport, local-sport,

Welcome to The Run To The Finals. Your one stop shop for the latest on the AFL North West competition. Each week journalist/Gunnedah Bulldogs backman Billy ‘One Shoulder’ Jupp will sit down with sports journalist/ Tamworth Swans recruit Ben ‘Step Ladder’ Jaffrey to discuss the weekend’s happenings. This week, both players took part in a double header at Tamworth’s No. 1 Oval and both took home a victory. However, one of the two finished a bit more battered and bruised than the other.  Check out last week’s podcast here: AFL North West: The run to the finals ep one | Podcast, Photos The two scribes will discuss those games while the third was a game was a forfeit. We’d also love to see your photos, too. If you have any you’d like included in future editions of The Run To The Finals, you can send them to ben.jaffrey@fairfaxmedia.com.au or billy.jupp@fairfaxmedia.com.au.
