Round 1 St Pauls V East Brighton
SENIORS – Sponsored by Merkon Constructions
The 2013 premiership rematch in pure footy terms didn’t live up to expectations with a low scoring affair seeing the Vampires hold on for a 2 goal win. Injuries to key players marred the match with Cal Cathcart and Jarryd Allan both off early leaving a depleted bench for the second half. Levi 501 was showing them How with a solid debut and his confidence should increase on the back of his clean ball use under pressure. Junior Mercoulia was outstanding through the middle and the O dog made the most of every opportunity kicking 2 goals. In a hard fought slog the boys will still take plenty of positives away from the game.

A solid performance by a well drilled team that proved too fit and too polished for East Brighton running away with a 92 point victory. Knoxy showed his obvious class and was a stand out. He was well supported by Dan East doing the bulk of the ruck work and Pauly Tolongs running hard on-ball all game. Chrissy Vail at full back did a great job as did the ever reliable skipper Glenny Balmforth. On the scoreboard B Raff and Whispers Walton got amongst them snagging 2 each.

The boys did themselves proud with a 13 goal victory to open our 2014 campaign. A brilliant 4 quarter performance by 1st game skipper Braggers ensured the boys stayed on top throughout. It was a super impressive debut from the Jenkins boys, Fred and Victor as they combined brilliantly and linked up selflessly all game. Gianni Mercuri was very good with his attack on the footy and Numbers was tricky up forward. It was a great performance by our elevated under 17 boys in particular Saxon in the ruck and Harry up forward who both really slotted in well.
