Official Match Report
Our first home game of the year and despite 2 late injury withdrawals we went into this game against highly rated Oakleigh determined to show our bloods spirit. Today we were lead by our courageous captain Will B who put his head over the ball all day and never gave up. This set the scene for his teammates who kept the pressure on in the contest and we trailed by just a point at quarter time. It was the second quarter an Oakleigh small forward got away kicking 3 goals that turned out to be the difference on the scoreboard at the end of the game. Special mention to Xavier Keogh who played his best game for the club today following the game plan to a tee. A couple of other highlights I am sure the boys will enjoy on the replay were Sam McConchie’s check side snap from deep in the pocket and Joe Barnes power run from the wing bursting through tackles and gathering his own ball on 3 occasions. Overall our boys really put in a great effort today and continued until the very last siren.
