MATCH REVIEW

Trafalgar shook off a determined Boolarra to win their second successive game that never reached great heights as a spectacle. The first quarter Trafalgar put on four goals with Brayde Bosman scoring a hat –trick, the big blond featuring heavily in the forward zone. Boolarra were untidy with mis-kicks, spilling marks and players continually kicking high expecting downfield players to mark against two or more opponents. Trafalgar were playing the short kick game, especially on the backline confusing Boolarra players. Umpires were hard on the ball carrier and were giving free kicks for holding the ball even when gang tackled. Trafalgar eased into the second quarter but Boolarra threw everything at the Bloods, players were starting to hold possession and the defences tightened up. Boolarra’s Tom Reiske was holding down danger man Daniel Hayes, keeping the goal scoring machine down to one goal by half time. Trafalgar managed 1-1 to Boolarra’s 1-0 in a tough second quarter. Trafalgar turned the game on its head after the break with Hayes and Bosman scoring goals but other were shared around as the Bloods added a further six goals to Boolarra’s three. Jace Butler and Tyson Leys playing top football in the heavy conditions. Boolarra were plugging on but without any luck as the Bloods took over the game leading into a last term where Boolarra stood still with a nil scoreline whereas Trafalgar added another four goals to run out comfortable winners in the end 15-5 to 4-3. Of the nine goal kickers Brayde Bosman finished with four and Daniel Hayes with three and selected as best were Jace Butler, Tyson Leys, Jamie Hines and Matt Swenson. Boolarra’s choice was easy as Tom Reiske, Sam Mazou and Pat Haines stood out as their best.

MATCH REVIEW

YYN had to come from behind to defeat a gallant Hill End side who almost caused the boilover of the round. In a close match all day the Grovers just kept their noses ahead, the first term was level at 1-3 each then four goals to two in the second term gave Hill End an unexpected nine point edge going into half time. YYN had chances to boost ahead but loose and wayward kicking was their downfall. Hill End continued their charge in the third and it looked like a surprise ending coming up with Hill End adding a further 3-2 to 2-1. YYN coach Barrie Burnett huddled his charges for a three-quarter spray and it was effective as the Bombers tighten up their defence, booted three goals and held Hill End scoreless to overtake the Hillmen and run out winners by two points YYN 8-8 to Hill End 8-6. The usually feisty goal kicker Dean McDonald was left with a zero tally while Keenan Hughes continues to lead the league list with 17 goals after his four against Hill End. Luke Mulqueen booted three for a disappointed Hill End side and Chase Saunders also scored twice. Experienced players in Campbell MacInnes and Todd Dobson were best foir the Bombers with newcomer James De Vergilio in good support. Hill End’s best were Jack Hudson, Rob Fiddelaers and Dylan Brooks.

MATCH REVIEW

Mirboo North easily took the first leg of the Bright-St Ellen trophy with an eye catching victory over Thorpdale. The undefeated Tigers blew the Blues away in the first with five goals to one but lined up for goal kicking practice in the second term with a mangy effort of 2-10 which had the faithful shaking their heads. Poor judgement, pressure and windy conditions coming into force. Mirboo North adjusted their sights and moved the goalposts in the second half adding a further 11-6 to 2-2 to run out easy than usual winners over Thorpdale. Brayden Wilson picking up another five goals to go to 16 so far and a contender for the goalkicking honours. Jacob Blair notched a fine three. Thorpdale tried hard under the conditions with Dean Spanos, Ethan Parker and Jake Atkinson all working to make the Blues competitive. Good news for Thorpdale, they got a team on the field in the reserves, avoiding another fine from the League. Mirboo North winning 18-17 to 4-2.

MATCH REVIEW

Although the scores suggested an easy win to Yinnar it was a hard game for the Magpies, on the scoreboard it was a runaway victory but Newborough had a crack especially in the third term when they outscored Yinnar. Down by 39 points at half time the Bulldogs came out snarling and produced their best term of football, they gave the goal umpire hell with nine shots in range but only 2-7 resulted as they fritted away any chance of getting close to Yinnar. Yinnar had a beacon up forward and the journeyman Matt Coutts with strong marks and accuracy gave Yinnar someone to aim for. By three-quarter Newborough were within 24 points but the last quarter Yinnar with the aid of the wind and more direct play were able to add a further seven goals to the Dogs single. Yinnar had nine goal kickers with Coutts bagging five, could have been more but missed a couple and gave some away. Michael Burge, Coutts, Brendan Chapman and Daniel Yates all doing well while for Newborough Rob Wilson, Liam Carolan, Josh Bland and Michael Rosato were all viable players who gave it their best as Yinnar ran out 14-14 to 4-11 winners.
