Official Match Report
Up against second placed Murrumbeena and starting 19 players this week we were going to need our best. Although our effort in the first quarter was there we could not stop the opposition from taking a commanding lead into quarter time kicking 5.3 with the breeze and keeping us scoreless. After quarter time it was a different story as we moved Monty & Charlie into the middle with Joe and they worked hard to help even up the contest. Sam McC moved to the wing and read the play well to set up a number of forward opportunities that Mason converted to have us match them on the scoreboard in the second qtr. The third qtr was an arm wrestle and the boys showed great spirit to keep them goalless with the wind.
As we broke the 3qtr time huddle we wanted more reward on the scoreboard for our effort and although we outscored them in the final qtr we couldn’t close the 1st qtr margin.
