CDHBU has registered its first win of the season with a come from behind 3 point win against local rivals Billabong Crows at Oaklands.
The Crows were dominate for the first quarter and a half as they played great football making the Power look second rate as they got out to a 35 point lead with only Nathan McCelland’s two goals the only score on the Power’s scoreboard. Some moves were made with the main two being Callum Butler going into the ruck and John Webb to Full Forward. These moves sparked the Power as they banged on 5 quick goals before half time to only trial by 5 points, 7.7 to 7.2.
After kicking the first goal after half time to hit the lead, the Crows hit back and was able to take a 20 point lead into the last change.
With Butler playing great in the ruck and Webb providing a target up forward with 3 goals along with Russell Anderson the Power was able to hit the lead with about 6 minutes remaining. Yet again the Crows hit back with another goal before a snap by Brad Talbot got the Power back in front with a minute to play. Crows got the centre clearance and took a mark but missed the goal and this allowed the Power to run out 14.9.93 to 13.12.90 winners
