Devils are building

Keilor Park is heading in the right direction in the Essendon District Football League division 2 competition.

The Devils are one of two teams that dropped down to division 2 along with Rupertswood.

While they suffered a first round loss to the Sharks, coach Colby Blyth said they were happy with how things were sitting at the moment.

“The off season has been extremely positive and we’re very happy with where we are sitting right now,” he said.

“There’s still a lot of growth and development to be had. We’ve had a very big few months and I think everyone is on the same page which is good.”

It was a tough season last year with one win for the year after a lot of change in the off season along with a number of injuries left the Devils struggling.

Blyth, who has stepped in the senior role this season, said everyone had been helping each other out to be in the position they are in now.

He said the vibe was really good around the club with everyone up and about.

Blyth said in the loss to Rupertswood had shown some positives.

“We were definitely up for the challenge and the fight which was good to see,” he said. “We created opportunities ourselves, but we didn’t walk away with the win.

“There were a lot of areas that we were really happy with and that was the important thing.”

The Devils had the weekend off, with the club to host Coburg Districts on Good Friday.

It was a match up they started a couple of years ago, before the Devils got promoted into division 1.

Blyth said it was a huge occasion for the club on a special day.

The game will start at 4.30pm.

In other Good Friday matches, Keilor will face Strathmore in premier division and Hillside will host St Albans in division 1.
