It was past players day at Civilex Oval and the club was looking to give the hero’s of old a chance to see the new young breed and hopefully a win against one of the top teams in Inverleigh. The team would be without Brayden Smith, Aiden Sleep-Dalton from the half back line plus Jackson Smith who sweeps from this line and this gap would be hard to cover.
With a great start with the wind kicking four goals and great teamwork from defense to the forward line things looked good as Centrals had most of the play. This continued into the second quarter until half way though when Inverleigh were able to take complete control and wrest the lead back at half time. Centrals needed to get back in the game and they slowly wrested it back over the third quarter getting to a 3 goals lead at the last change. Was this going to be enough and could Centrals keep them out for a full quarter. Well nearly but just not long enough as Inverleigh kicked the last goal of the match to get up by 3 points. A bitter disappointment for the playing group and the large crowd.
Final Scores:- Werribee Centrals 12.14– 86 to Inverleigh 13.11 - 89
Goal Kickers:- B Taylor 3, Z Anthony 2, N Bauld, D Boyd, D Chesterman, N Johnson, M Malual, M Smith & B Wilson 1 each.
Best Players:- T Nyawela, M Smith, N Johnson, N Bauld, D Chesterman, M Miller & B Taylor.
The Reserves playing one of the top teams started the game well kicking four first quarter goals but Inverleigh bounced back in the second with the wind, Centrals the same in the third with Inverleigh kicking four in the last but just could not bridge the gap with Centrals holding on for a very close win.
Final Scores:- Werribee Centrals 9.7 - 61 to Inverleigh 8.10 – 58
Goal Kickers:- M Camilleri 3, J Zoppi 2, M Alush, D Brierty, A Briggs & L Windram 1 each.
Best Players:- A Briggs, M Camilleri, S Weatherly, C O’Malley, J Wighton & R Quarrier.
The Colts played St Josephs and came away with another solid win. A good spread of best players as this group slowly work on their teamwork and general skills.
Final Scores:- Werribee Centrals 8.14 – 62 to St Josephs 4.4 – 28
Goal Kickers:- C Barker 2, D Camilleri E Geelhuisen, K Cook, Z DeLeon, J Gallagher & H Willems 1 each.
Best Players:- H Willems, Z DeLeon, A Scarborough, D Insall, C Sammut & K Cook.
