This week saw us play top side Goolwa on their home deck in somewhat wintry conditions. It was imperative that we worked hard all day and after a poor first quarter we found ourselves 6 goals down.
I told the boys we were better than that and to lift our game and they responded with 6 goals in the second term through some great work from Fenoughty, Wilson, McDonald, Chahla, Quinton and Perry driving the ball forward off the good ruck work of Proctor and Robins.
The third quarter was another tight period with the defence under immense pressure, but through Davis, Nairn McKee and Atie the ball was coming back out. Vandeleur was doing a good job in restricting their Half Forwards.
The last quarter saw us battle out the game but made no leeway on the scoreboard. To Goolwa's credit they were good but if not for a bad 1st quarter which put us behind the 8 ball we were competitive and never gave in.
Next game is Willunga after a weeks rest - let's get ready for it.
Cheers, Moll
