What a dream start to 2015 for the Senior side with an emphatic win over Traralgon, to regain the Fred Jones Trophy. It was a perfect autumn day, with the ground being in the best condition it has ever been. A large crowd attended to see the Leongatha boys display an awesome brand of footy under the guidance of Beau and his team, with every player contributing to the win. New & returning players jelled straight in with Jake Best kicking 9 goals, Tas Clingan and Cade Maskell returning, Kyle Cooper up from the U18s for his first senior game, Shem Hawking & Brendan Fitzgerald up from the Alberton League, along with recruits Johnno Pitman & ex-Kilcunda Bass and Williamstown player, Dale Hoghton. Also back from Essendon VFL for his first game at Leongatha for a few years was Aaron Heppell. The reserves played a great brand of footy, only to see their lead snatched from them in the last couple of minutes. The coaches, parents and supporters were really proud of the efforts of the U18s and U16s. In the A grade netball match the lead continually changed, only to find Traralgon having a turn in front when the final whistle went. C grade held on to win by one goal and Traralgon were too strong in the other grades. The Netball wlecomed back Meg Rosser to the club in A grade, along with a number of new and returning players in B & C grades.
This Satuday we welcome the Wonthaggi Power players and supporters to Leongatha for the South Gippsland derby, and with Wonthaggi Seniors in red-hot form, it promises to be an epic encounter.
