Monbulk Junior Football Club
ROUND 12 of the current home and away series continues with each match vital in determining the final ladder positions and the chance to experience finals footy. The Hawks played away at Wandin on Sunday where heavy, slippery, muddy conditions kept the score lines low and became a great equaliser for all teams.
