In the run to the Northern Territory Football League finals this year, Wanderers fell. Their Round 16 loss to the Tiwi Bombers by 108 points hammered their percentage. The loss in Round 17 to Nightcliff wasn’t as brutal on the scoreboard, but potentially devastating to their season. Going down by 21 points to the Tigers meant a final round showdown with the team above them to sneak a finals berth.
Everything depended on Round 18. Wanderers were equal on points to Palmerston, but would have to beat them to pass them.
They did.
Last year’s grand-finalists had found their own little miracle to get another crack at a flag – however remote. Their Elimination Final against the Tiwi Bombers would have to reverse the Round 16 result and then some to proceed any further through the finals.
They did.
