SANDGATE MASTERS V COOLANGATTA Round 4 2012
Sandgate Masters were down the coast to play Coolangatta last weekend. The last time we played them was in a knockout trial round earlier in the year and came very close to ending their 2 year streak of being undefeated.
Having the round played on a Saturday(Mother’s Day on Sunday) resulted in several players being unable to make it due to work and other family sporting events- but we still believed we had a team to win the game.
The first quarter saw goals to Darren, Dessi, GD, Middy and Steve Curran- first game back after breaking arm.Coolangatta were competitive kicking four of their own and we went to the break leading by 7 points. The second quarter was fiercely fought with four goals kicked by both teams. Sandgate goals were by Willo (2), Butch and Macca (new player from seniors).An eight point lead was taken to the half time break- and we were looking good.
The third quarter saw us evenly matched with both teams kicking 3 goals. Sandgate scorers were Middy (2) and Neil. Carts was having a great game for his first official game for the club, as was the remaining back line. Unfortunately Coolangatta came out blazing in the final quarter kicking six goals to one (Neil).
Overall it was a great effort by the side, and I’m sure it has ensured a win for our next game against Aspley at home.
Final score 13-6-84, 15-8-98.
Winner of cup- Middy
Injuries – GD- torn bicep and damaged finger requiring pins- hope to be back later in season.
