What a season, we only lost 2 games during the minor round and finished second.
We played Willunga in the first final and led till half time. It was tight after that but Willunga got on top in the final term to win by a few goals. During the game we lost Steve Walker, one of our Captains, who was dominating in the centre, with a serious leg break and ankle break. This really flattened the boys and myself but to their credit they never chucked it in.
We played Compass at Compass in shitty conditions the next final. Compass started really well and we were down 4 goals to zip at quarter time. We then worked our way back into the game and after half time we dominated the game. Craig Hill at C.H.F. smashed them and took some telling wet weather marks. We ran out winners by a couple of goals and kept Compass to 1 goal after half time.
In the Prelim final, we played Strath who we hadnt beaten all season. We started well with Cal Scholar kicking 4 goals in the first quarter to have us leading at quarter time. Strath hit back and it was goal for goal for most of the day. In the end, we ended up with only 1 on the bench but the whole side had a real crack but went down by 5 points. Was very proud of the players of how they just kept coming at Strath.
Well done to Steve Walker on winning the Association Medal in Reserves for the 2nd year running, a special player and great club man. Congrats to Jimmy Williams on his 1st Best & fairest and Walks on his runner up.
Cheers Dale
