A goal after the siren by Jesse Upton has given the Under 17’s a thrilling 3 point victory over the reigning premier Murray Magpies on the weekend. In a tight contest were the scores were always close, a great kick into the forward line by Hayden Filliponi found Jesse Upton 35 metres out when the siren went. Upton went back and calmly slotted the goal home to reward the hard work of all the team. James Dowling played a great game at full back, while Marc Playford & Jordan Ray also played well. Nathan Rhodes, Hayden Filliponi & Mal Macartney were always dangerous with the ball in their hands while Corey Smith kicked 3 goals in the tight encounter. The Fourths & the Junior Netballs were the only other sides to register wins, while the seniors losing streak stretched to 12 games going down the bottom side Magpies by 23 points. Magpies got off to the better start to be leading by 3 goals at quarter time. The Power fought back in the second quarter with the Brad Talbot lead defence getting on top & with Jarrod Hanrahan getting plenty of the ball the Power went to half time leading by 4 points. Magpies got on top after the break quickly kicking 4 goals before the Power were able to get their hand on the ball and with Richard Leahy kicking two late goals the Power only trailed by 6 points at the last change. But the last quarter was all Magpies as they kicked 4 goals to 1 to take victory.
