Twenty people, two dogs and one quirky sport keep this small town kicking
The Silo Kick is Mirrool's claim to fame, but the annual event does more than crown the biggest kicker of a football in the New South Wales Riverina town.

March 1971 West Torrens v Nth Melbourne
Fair to say the "Cream of Victorian Football" bit was somewhat over the top, with North having "won" the Wooden Spoon the previous year (with just 4 wins)!! They improved to 9th in 1971, but still only won 5 games and drew one, so not much cream there at all!

After losing by 400+ points this club considered folding. What they did next united a community
A football team that spent the past two years getting beaten by hundreds of points found itself with a choice to make — give up, or go all in. With a renewed focus on community, families have now returned to the club, so too a sense of hope.
