Our boys travelled out ot Citizens Park in Richmond for a table of the table clash aganist the second placed team. Once again we camE up against a team that were much taller than us. We kicked the first goal of the game inside the first minute but from that point on Richmond dominated the play by being first to the ball. Our boys were prepared to sit back and watch as Richmond played a tough and exciting brand of footy.
We went in to half time 2 goals down which was the first time this had happened all season. After a few quiet words at half time and a few positional changes the boys came out after half time playing the type of football that we expect. We kicked 2 goals to nil in the third to go in level at 3/4 time. In the last it was an arm wrestle before Brad took a mark in the goal square to put us in front. We held that lead until the final siren went.
Final Score - Banyule 5.7 37 defeated Richmond 4.5 29
It was a great fightback in the second half after being completely out played in the first. I was really proud of how the boys responded. We now know the competition we are going to expect come finals time.
Goals - Marcus 3, Brad 1, Jarrod 1
Best - Ryan B, Nathan A, Deano, Jack G, Marcus, Caleb
On a side note I would like to thank Richmond Junior Football Club for their help and support of Ryan who got knocked out in the last quarter and was taken off on a stretcher. We are happy to say that Ryan is recovering well.
