NOT only did the South Fremantle Football Club play for the Garlic Munchers Cup at HBF Arena on Saturday and celebrate the Hall of Fame induction dinner on Saturday night, but Sunday proved a successful day for the Bulldogs as well strengthening ties with the club's country zone.

It proved to be an eventful weekend for South Fremantle beginning with the clash on Saturday at Joondalup's HBF Arena which was for the annual Garlic Munchers Cup for a third successive year.

The result might not have gone South Fremantle's way, but it didn’t dampen the mood back at Fremantle Oval on Saturday night as the club hosted its second Hall of Fame induction dinner.

Almost 400 people packed out the Griff John Function Centre as eight greats of the South Fremantle Football Club were elevated to Legend status, and another 25 players were inducted into the Hall of Fame and 10 officials were inducted as well.

That was a night to remember in recognition of the South Fremantle Football Club and then on Sunday, the playing group made a successful trip to the Bulldogs' country zones.

Just looking at the Bulldogs' current senior playing group and the likes of Haiden Schloithe, Kyle and Ashton Hams, Craig White, Adam Guglielmana, Toby Bairstow, Zac Strom and Simon Panizza are all tremendous examples of the pathway from that country zone to play league football at South Fremantle.

The senior playing group of South Fremantle plus the club's directors visited four matches in the country zone on Sunday afternoon in Boddington, Narrogin, Wickepin and Katanning.

The players not only were in attendance in matches in each of those four towns, but also participated in activities with Auskick participants at half-time of those games, and presented the best player awards to the participating teams at the post-game functions.
