The Darling Downs Crows have jumped from 8th to 6th on the ladder after a hard fought 4 point win over a bigger bodied Redlands outfit at Rockville Park on the weekend.
The win against Redlands was set up on the back of another terrific effort by the backline who kept Redlands to just 2 goals through the opening 3 quarters while the Crows managed 6 goals in that time. Rebounding defender Riley Easton was sensational across the half back line and won countless contested ball throughout the game while Sam Copland and Brendan Shelton performed brilliantly against bigger bodied opponents.
This is the first time that the Crows have won back to back games this season and with a modest run home the Crows may just scrape into the top 5 in their first season of Div 1 football. All players and coaches arent getting ahead of themselves though and realise while the team has shown great improvement their is still much room for further improvement this season.
Next week the Crows hit the road lining up against bottom placed Redcliffe in a game they are expected to win.
Good luck boys and well done!
