Round 14 Results
Added July 20th
The round 14 home game against St. Johns was a significant day for the Turtles in 2008 as a win for the senior side would give the Turtles a handy break from the sides outside the top 4 and go a long way to securing a birth in the finals. The Turtles withstood a third quarter comeback by St. Johns, running away 38 point winners with Crooksy dominating the game in the ruck.
A win for the ressies would secure second spot on the ladder and a double chance in the finals. After a slow start to the game, Eltham overcame the St. Johns reserve side winning by 51 points, welcoming Little Hargy back to football in 2008.
