Team Match Report
The Gold headed to Malvern buoyed by our win last week, our pocket rocket Noah was captain for the day. First quarter was controlled by the Gold with the ball trapped inside our forward line but with no scores as the opposing defense were resilient . Liam took a great mark in defence and played a fantastic quarter, supported by the two Nick's, Brodie and Jesper. We approached the 2nd quarter with great confidence, but the young Malvern team took control to play a fantastic quarter. Emile ran and ran his heart out, exhausted at the half time break.
During the half time break a hundred oranges were consumed as we were doing a lot of chasing, new energy kicked off our 3rd quarter goal of long kicks on the short ground. Harry played a strong quarter in the ruck, with Jacob trying to match the Malvern onballers who were playing unbelievable football. We came into the 3/4 time break well down but still hopeful of a resurgence.
The on ball brigade of Archer, Charlie, Simon and Brodie started brilliantly and Fergus was inspirational on the forward line kicking 3 behinds in 3 seconds and supported by Alexander who snagged a great goal.
A great final quarter allowed our boys to head into the break confident of a big second half to the season.
