Big Al has not missed a training session. He trains hard, follows instruction & strives to improve with every session.
That attitude has been rewarded with a senior game V Bakers Crk in the last home & away game.
Now Al would be the first to admit that his skills are not he best, nor is his fitness. But his first contribution on Saturday was nothing but spectacular. He brought an opponent down in a solid tackle & was rewarded with a free kick, he played on quickly to Doodle ( the opportunist! ) scooting by who slammed home the goal. 1st goal assist for the game.
Move forward to the 3rd qtr & Al found himself in the right place at the right time for a quick pass from Sticky. Almost dead in front & not far out, the whole venue held its breath as Big Al slotted home the goal. The celebration was hard & long, I think even some the Bakers boys got a high five from Big Al!
Al had two more goal assists for the game and he and Sticky proved a headache for the Tigers defence, booting 12 goals between them for the game.
For the players, the highlight of a win is the song in the rooms after the game and Big Al led the chant, loud & proud!
