Mac Uni Warriors 8.9.57 Defeated by Sydney University 3.13.31
First Grade had a great win last weekend over 2nd placed Sydney University and in doing so retained the treasured JB Cup named after former Kooka John Benson who died in a plane crash a few years ago.
The Warriors came out fired up after a poor performance the week before against Manly and it was the 2nd quarter where we kicked 4 goals to pinch a 3 goal lead at half time.
The 2nd half was a close affair with play moving from one end of the ground to the other. When Scotty Cations kicked his 3rd goal of the game with 7 minutes remaining on the clock the JB Cup was staying at Mac Uni for another year.
Once again, as with the Manly game the previous week, Donnie Ollington & Andrew Polkinghorne were very good whilst Brodie Cooper picked up BOG and the game ball.
The First Grade boys finished equal 3rd on the ladder with Sydney University however ended up in 4th spot on percentage. This means we take on 5th placed North Shore on Sunday at Blacktown as we look to keep our season alive. The Warriors will be looking to Scotty, Buttercup & Polks up forward, Deano, Dyl & Kev in the middle and TS, CM & Donnie in the backline to get us over the line with the winner facing either Sydney University or Manly the following Sunday.
Best on Ground: Brodie Cooper, Andrew Polkinghorne, Donnie Ollington, Tim Scoular, Dylan Brogan, Carter Mullins, Dean Connors, Scott Cations
