Seniors
We finally got to play a game for points on our new Highgate Reserve Oval and it was greeted with a very blustery wind that seemed at times to have both ends throughout the day.
We kicked the first 2 goals and they were answered by 3 goals from the Hawks quickly.
We then came out in the 2nd quarter and kicked 5 goals in the first half of the 2nd quarter and we lead by 27 points at one stage but then the Hawks kicked 3 quick goals towards the end of the quarter and we went in with a 5 point lead at the main break.
Box Hill got on top of us slightly in the 3rd quarter and this resulted in a very exciting final quarter.
The lead change on numerous occasions and at 1 stage Box Hill had a 17point advantage on us but the boys never gave up hopefully making the visiting Anzacs proud.
Nick Carnell showed why he is a great leader.He was severely winded in the 2nd quarter and basically knocked out accidently by Mitch Morton,he still came back on to have a role in us winning.
Dean Polo kicked the winning goal with about 2 minutes to go and the place filled with jubilation.

A pretty disappointing game coming off a 130 point win the previous week.
Not a great deal to report as the scores say it all,so the boys need to come out next week and show why they won the first 2 games.
