Round 2 v Dunnstown wrap up
In the last round our seniors came out against Dunnstown looking to get another win on the board. Unfortunately the guys were somewhat sluggish in the first quarter and found themselves 3 goals down very quickly before they steadied to limit the damage caused. The second quarter saw the team work their way back into the game playing tough accountable footy to get back within a goal by half time. In the 3rd quarter the boys dominated, playing an exceptional brand of footy running the ball in numbers from the defence to the forward line then tackled and harassed their opponents endeavouring to turn the ball over at any opportunity. Dan Wehrung showed great leadership with a fine game in the midfield. Nathan Skewes dominated racking up quality possessions across half back with Kal Young and Adrian Chew controlling the stoppages booting 6 unanswered goals for the quarter. The last quarter saw Dunnstown rally but the boys were determined to get the points. Will Young was a beacon up front with 7 goals and the back line worked as one to ensure the Dunnstown forwards were given no space to work in. A 28 point victory is a pleasing result well done to Kal and the boys.
In the Reserves match the guys started well but fell away over the final 3 quarters. Brad Fleming continued his great form getting plenty of support from James Dimond, Dan Eastwell and Simon Dwyer.
The U18s played some quality football against undermanned but determined opposition, the boys pulled away for a strong win. A big thankyou to the boys that chipped in to help out the opposition. Patrick Parr was dominant getting some great support from Jake Relouw, Justin Kennedy and Dan Prendergast.
