Inaccurate kicking almost cost Keilor the game, but tight defence in the last half held Collingwood at bay.

Collingwood’s pre-season campaign officially got underway on Tuesday when the Magpies took on Keilor Primary School in the annual Bega Cup Grand Final.
A record crowd, including the entire Keilor Primary School, as well as hundreds of friends, parents and staff, were in attendance to witness what proved a gripping contest, with the hosts triumphing by just six points – 3.6 (24) to Collingwood’s 3.0 (18).
