It was a wet, cold and at times exhausting game of football, but East Perth had enough strength to beat East Fremantle by three points in a nerve-wracking game at the Sullivan Logistics Stadium.
The result of 4.9 (33) to 3.12 (30) on Saturday secures the Royals their first double chance since 2014, with the possibility of securing the minor championship in the top game next Saturday against Peel.
