The Trend Interiors Carpet & Tile Court AFL Capricornia representative side has continued their dominance over Bundaberg Wide Bay with a 33 point win. The lead changed several times in the first quarter with fast flowing football a highlight. Capricornia had a small lead at quarter time thanks to multiple goals from key forward Scott Muller. The second quarter saw a shootout between the two teams with Liam Kronk and Jamieson Webb dominant for their respective sides. Hard attack at the football and clean passing skills attributed to Capricornia’s 19 point lead at half time.
The third quarter saw Capricornia consolidate their lead with forwards Darren Boase, Wes Hawke and Greg Piggott prominent, while Bundaberg Wide Bay backman Dean Backwell tried hard with impressive run from the backline. The continued rotation of quality midfielders by Capricornia provided fresh legs through the centre and at the clearances. Ben Burns, Alex Totten, Toby Payne, Nick Stanley and Tyson Payne racked up plenty of possessions in the middle thanks to the Adam Johnson’s strong ruckwork. The last quarter was a tight battle with Bundaberg Wide Bay making a strong challenge at the start of the quarter. Bundaberg Wide Bay was unable to convert however with Capricornia winning a fourth consecutive representative game.
