Senior Club Update
Last weekend saw the 19’s up against strong division three side Templestowe in what turned out to be a very close fought and entertaining game. Templestowe led from the start and it wasn’t until three quarter time that we had pour noses in front – by just a solitary point. Templestowe got the jump on us again in the last and it wasn’t until the last minute of the game where we were able to get back in front to come away with a nail-biting 5.9.39 to 5.6.36 victory. For Surrey, Tom Girvan, Harry Cline and Paul Collopy were named our best and Harry Lacchiana scored two goals. The wins assures top spot on the ladder and spot in the second semi-final on 26th August.
The Reserves, fronted up against top side Forest Hill pushed hard all day but fell short at the end going down 5.3.33 to 8.9.57. Matt McBride kicked two while Dean Spencer and Ben Elbaz were named our best. We retain third position on the ladder and a place in the finals is ours for the taking. With a number of players due to return over the next week or two competition for a place in the side come finals time will be fierce.
The seniors took on second placed side Forest Hill – a team that we always seem to match up well against – and performed really well showing great spirit and composure. We led at each break and ran out four goal winners - 9.11.65 to 5.11.41. Our fourth victory on the trot and a place in the finals remains a mathematical possibility (more about that later). Graeme Johns again did well kicking five, and his season tally to 55 while Alex Hocking and Darby Edgeworth were named our best.
This week the senior side up against Donvale who sit at the top of the ladder, we need to win this and next week’s final H & A away game at home v Glen Waverley then hope Kilsyth and Coldstream drop their last two (though we need Nunawading to breakthrough for their first win in two years…). Well we remain in hope at this stage at least…
