Perth Thunder season wraps up in dramatic, heartbreaking fashion

What a run.

It wasn’t supposed to end this way.

That’s the thought that’s run through mine, and likely most Thunder fans’ minds on loop throughout the past nine days since the Thunder’s 3-2 overtime semi-final loss to the eventual champion Newcastle North Stars.

Yep, it’s been nine days since that heartbreaking evening, that’s how long it’s taken me to process this and be able to write any more than three simple lines about it.

I feel like I’ve only just peeled my forehead off the glass after staring blankly through at a heartbroken Rob Haselhurst after Newcastle’s over time winner ended the most promising season in Thunder history.
