GSFL 2025: Tigers skipper Jayden Scott rubbed out after careless strike in win over Bulls in round eight

Railways captain Jayden Scott will miss this Saturday’s clash against Denmark-Walpole after being rubbed out for striking. Scott was yellow-carded during the third term of the Great Southern Southern Football League round eight match against Mt Barker at Sounness Park. GSFL tribunal and game-day penalty director Tony Lazar said the umpires deemed the strike as “careless and high”. “Under the Country Football WA matrix, the penalty is a two-week suspension,” he said. “With an early plea, it’s a one-week suspension and Railways took that.” The Tigers elected to accept the sanction with an early guilty plea and their skipper will now miss Saturday’s game against Denmark-Walpole, who currently sit fourth on the ladder. Despite the loss of Scott for 15 minutes, missing goal-magnet Hyden Parker and player-coach Bodhi Stubber, the Tigers went on to defeat the Bulls and remain undefeated this season.
