Towards the end of the South West Football League season football becomes serious business.

But in a year where there has not been much to smile about, two mates made sure they had a laugh.

South Bunbury president Jeff Hayres and Bunbury vice-president Daniel Johnston continued their tradition of having a Bunbury derby bet, with the loser often having to do something humiliating regarding the opposition team.

After Hayres was made to wash a car earlier this year when Bunbury defeated the Tigers in an upset, it was Johnston's turn to pay the price.

After a big Tigers victory, Johnston made his way down the South Bunbury race and into the change rooms where the players were ready to belt out the famous words of their club song.

With Johnston in the middle singing at the top of his lungs, the South Bunbury players showered him with Gatorade and water in honour of their victory.
