A disappointing day for the club on Saturday as our seniors threw away a chance at victory. In front of a large gathering of past players, we were good enough to take a five goal lead into the main break, and bad enough to not score a goal in the second half. Full credit to Tooronga who kept coming at us and eventually wore us down. Unfortunately, more of their players wanted to work for victory than ours. It was left for too few to do too much. Nigel played his heart in the middle as did the Celtic connection of McMurray and Murphy in the back half. The coach was also pleased with Hally’s efforts whilst Deano to continues to fight above his weight division in the ruck. Not good enough !
The reserves claimed another scalp along the way to finals. Led by 5 majors from Luke Swan, they were comfortable victors. Coach Riley, reeling from the Magpies lamentable effort on Friday night was again well served by Marc Fullarton, Ryan Forsyth, David Ford and Thommo, Johnny Charles iced the cake with his three majors.
