Official Match Report
Boulder exit 2010 in straight sets after starting so sprightly to this game they faded badly in the second and third quarter, but did manage to outscore the Diorites in the last but it was all too late. Diorite Mitch Graham did a superb job in keeping 100+ goalscorer Darren Bradshaw to very few possessions and his single goal came very late in the game, while other Diorites Keiron Giblett, Cameron Allen, Trent Moon and Cale Delbridge were influential in bringing the ball forward and again the Diorites got rich rewards from multiple goal kickers. The Tigers through Matt Wellstead in his 219th game for Boulder and 251st GFL game was a real shining light up forward and he and Brody Johnson were potent in the early going with Wellstead one of a very few four quarter efforts for the Tigers.
The Diorites defend the flag once again and hope to make it four in a row, with forward Grae Grant who has kicked 28 goals this season the only injury concern before the seasons decider who didn’t play the Prelim due to a knee infection.
