Saturday 9th April, 2011 at 2.30pm @ Yankalilla
Yankalilla 17.6 (108) def McLaren 9.9 (63)
Best Players: N. Riley, C. Scholar, D. Loots, J. Greenbank, A. Natale, S. Laffin.
Goals Kickers: J. Cowling, C.Hockey - 3, J. Greenbank, M. Fenoughty, S. Laffin - 1
Even though we had more inside 50 entries, we found ourselves 7 goals to 1 down at quarter time against a very highly skilled Yankalilla outfit who seem to be able to kick goals from anywhere. We fought back in the second with 5 goals to their 4 but were outscored 6 goals to 3 in the second half.
We were certainly competitive but failed to make the most of our forward attacks with 44 inside 50s for only 9 goals. We are competitive and aggressive around the footy and did well at stoppages but we will have to defend and attack better than this to beat the better sides.
Good games from youngsters Natale and Scholar on the wings, new players Riley, Greenbank and Laffin made an impact and after a big off season campaign looks like Lootsy is in for a big year.
Cheers Hilly
