By DAYLE DUNSHEA - Division 2 Reserves
NORTH Footscray have started their season in high spirits, after they defeated Glen Orden at Heathdale Oval at the weekend.
From the first bounce the Devil’s dominated, keeping possession of the ball for the majority of the game, this was much to the dismay of Glen Orden who were hoping to start this season strong after not making the finals last season.
Devil Joel Richardson showed the spectators what he was about, kicking a massive nine goals which has rocketed him to the top of the leading goal kicker tally board.
People at the game also couldn’t keep their eyes off Devil, David Hall, who seemed to be in and around the ball the entire day. He won almost all of his contests as well.
Glen Orden didn’t seem to be able to follow through when they got the ball into their 50m, only scoring one goal in the first half, and two more in the second.
North Footscray couldn’t have asked for a better start to their season, defeating Glen Orden by a massive 26 goals.
As disappointing as the loss is, Glen Orden will look to put the game behind them and move on to their next match.
At Robert Bruce Oval, Albanvale managed to played its first match in Division 2 against Manor Lakes.
The Cobras had a strong start to the season and was victorious against the Storm, who have now had back-to-back losses to start the season.
The final score was Albanvale 15.14. (104) to Manor Lakes 3.9. (27).
Caroline Springs had a bye this week.
This round will see Albanvale have a bye, whilst Manor Lakes will host West Footscray, as they meet at Howqua Reserve.
Caroline Springs are keen to get back into it as they make their way over to Hansen Reserve to take on North Footscray in what is shaping up to be one of the games of the round.
Glen Orden are keen to make their mark this season, and will be trying to do just that as they make their way to Yarraville Oval to take on the Yarraville Seddon Eagles.
The question is will the Hawks be able to defeat last year’s runner up? We will have to wait and see.
