Easts show fight in loss to champions

Ellem Oval staged a competitive CRCA Premier League fixture over the past two Saturdays and if a few more chances stuck, Easts could have been telling a different story.

"It was encouraging to be competitive against the benchmark team in the competition," Harris said.

"We were in the game in parts. But Tucabia won the big moments."
