Sandgate Masters travelled to Chelmer on Saturday afternoon to compete against the Souths Sharks.We expected a hard match to end the season, as Souths had just recently beaten Palm Beach and Morningside.
The first two quarters were pretty even with limited goals kicked, and some hard defence from both sides. Sock, Dawsey, Jammo and Andy were controlling the back line defence well, with support from Baxy, Carts, Timmsy and our centre men getting back. Good to have some tall folk back at the rucks with Kevin and TC giving some good knocks to Mark, Joffa and Willow. Timmsy kicked a good goal that was followed with a great left foot goal from Steiny and another from Willow. We went into the main break only down two goals, and confident we could cause an upset.
The second half was again hard fought and our umpire Cammy had his hands full with numerous decisions being questioned unnecessarily by the opposition- whingers!!Our coach was having a blinder of a game, chasing hard to complete tackles and spoil, and kicked another goal to boot. Phil and Middy also kicked goals for the half, but the full time siren came too quick to end our last game of the season.
Thanks once again to some of the over 45’s for filling in on a Saturday afternoon- appreciated as always. Thanks also to Peter and Tony for coming to assist on the sideline.
An end of season thankyou to all the players who have assisted in getting us onto the paddock each game- coaching staff, committee members ,First Aider/strapper Em, water runners, strapper Dawsey, our umpires Baxy, Middy and Cam and of course our supporters who come along each week to laugh, watch.
Don’t forget our AGM and Presentation night next Saturday 21st September.
Final score
Souths 8-12-60 defeated Sandgate 6-8-44
Top effort award- Baxy
