After that great win last week against Thomson everyone was asking if we could hold that sort of form or perhaps relax against one of the lower sides. The first quarter kicking into a strong breeze did not look pretty as we struggled to find a target but allowed Belmont to work forward on turnovers and the lack of pressure we had shown in prior games. Giving up a four goals lead at quarter time was not the start we wanted. The boys re-grouped and were able to bounce back kicking seven to nil in the second and opening up a lead. The third against the wind would be the telling point to see if they could hold and this they did having an even 3rd quarter and then going away with it in the last even though the scoreboard may tell a slightly narrower margin due to all the behinds kicked in the last quarter. A wins a win and we must get back to our best for Bell Post Hill next week.
Final Scores:- Werribee Centrals 13.21 – 99 to Belmont Lions 7.6 - 48
Goal Kickers:- T Nyawela 3, D Boyd 2, N Bauld 2, B Skinner 2, B Taylor, B Wilson, B Leonard & R Miles 1 each.
Best Players:- B Sloan, B Carlton, T Nyawela, C Buck, M Smith & M Alush.
The Reserves also playing Belmont took every opportunity today and played a very good brand of football to run out strong winners. This will help as we approach finals and need percentage to ensure we can maintain that finals spot.
Final Scores:- Werribee Centrals 18.14 - 122 to Belmont 2.4 – 16
Goal Kickers:- J Drohomirechi 3, M Atem 3, A Briggs 2, J Zoppi 2, L Speziale, M Duke, R Quarrier, D Drohomirechi, L Gibbs & L Cachia, M Camilleri & M Paul 1 each.
Best Players:- L Speziale, C O’Malley, M Malual, M Atem, J Zoppi & R Quarrier.
The Colts played Lara in a must win to remain in finals but found Lara much bigger and stronger on the day. With a much bigger effort next week we can quickly turn this around in the next game.
Final Scores:- Werribee Centrals 3.10 – 28 to Lara 9.8 – 62
Goal Kickers:- C Barker, N Gillespie & B Widdicombe 1 each.
Best Players:- H Snow, N Gillespie, C Humphries, Z Johnson, H Willems & D Insall.
Next week we are at Bell Post Hill and a win is again important as we look for a top three spot.
See you there.
