It wasn’t just the Essendon Bombers who had a good win on Friday night. Pre-game, Alistair Pennicott from Croyden recorded a great result winning '3 from 3' - an exciting competition by 3 mobile and the Essendon Football Club. Alistair slotted home all four shots at goal, including the money shot from 50 metres out, to win $10,000.
Suspended ruckman David Hille acted as goal umpire but his job was made easy as Alistair kicked truly each time and left the result in no doubt. Sam Dimopoulos and Peter O'Meara also took part.
