Round 2
Coleraine Vs Heathmere
A late swap of venues saw our matches come to Coleraine and a very good crowd watched some great football and some interesting netball.
Both footy teams kept their good early form going, while B-Grade and U/17's netball got on the board for season 2010.
Seniors
An excellent 8 goal opening quarter set the tone for what turned out to be a big win for the Mighty Maroons.
Heathmere looked very quick for the first few minutes, but after that it was all the Maroons, eventually winning by 114 points.
Reserves
The Reserves had a solid 42 point win at home to keep up the good start to the year.
We knew Heathmere were much better than the pounding that Tyrendarra gave them the week before and they put up a spirited fight, but the boys really moved and combined well to get the points.
A-Grade
A-Grade took a little while to get going and unfortunately the girls weren't able to peg back the deficit, going down by 18 goals.
Many different combinations of player positions were used though and this will help the versatility of the team as the season progresses.
B-Grade
With a couple of new players into the mix, B-Grade put in a vastly improved performance against a pretty handy Heathmere team.
A really great game ended with the Maroons earning a confidence boosting win by just the 1 goal.
C-Grade
The C-Grade girls worked very hard but came up just a little short, losing by just 6 goals.
This was a really good effort and it won't be long until the girls start racking up the wins.
Under 17's
The U/17 girls really showed what they are capable of with a big 27 goal win against Heathmere.
Big opportunity against Tyrendarra this week to show the rest of the comp that these girls have the talent to go all the way.
Under 15's
The girls continue to do their best despite having issues with player numbers and were in the game throughout the first half.
Sadly though, with less chances to interchange players, the girls got a bit tired in the last half which enabled Heathmere to sneak away in the end. Keep going girls, we're all behind you !
Under 13's
After last weeks great win, the girls had a tougher assignment this week against Heathmere.
In a tight tussle our girls just missed out by 3 goals from going 2 for 2.
They weren't far away though and can hit back this week against Tyrendarra.
This week the Mighty Maroons host arch rivals Tyrendarra in what should be some brilliant matches.
Silvester Oval is the only place to be on Saturday, so come on over, get a Chronicle and enjoy a very entertaining day and afterwards, get your boots on, bring a casserole and enjoy the musical stylings of Sam Plush.
