The Thirds were up against a tough challenge against the minor premiers, Cerberus in the qualifying final. The winner would go straight into the preliminary final whilst the runner up, plays next week in a semi final. The Thirds have never beaten Cerberus and we started well, by kicking the first goal and holding majority of the possession time. Despite the Yarras inaccurate goal kicking, we were ahead at quarter-time 2-1-13 to 2-4-16. Johnson was the pick of the midfielders, with his strong attack on the football, strength and speed. The Yarras only managed one behind in the second quarter, whilst conceding four goals straight in just five minutes. Dixon played well in the backline, rebounding the ball out of our defensive fifty. Monok kicked three goals. Unfortunately, the Yarras had far too many passengers and didn’t take advantage of their opportunities in front of goal to allow the three-headed dogs a trip to the preliminary final. Final scores; 13-3-81 to 5-9-39.
You’ll see the Yarras behind the BBQ at Bunnings, Hawthorn this Saturday 9th September and next Sunday 17th September.
The Yarras are now seeking expressions of interest for the Reserves and Thirds coaching positions for the 2018 season. If you would like to apply for either position, please email your interest to southyarrafc@gmail.com.
