What a tremendous game of football. A one-point victory to the
mighty Bulldogs with just 10 seconds left on the clock. Congratulations
to all involved.
Special thanks to Rodney Ryan, Dylan Whitby- Taylor, Ethan Merry,
Tristan Simpson and Sharzah Kelly all under 14s players who
helped out on the day. They fitted into the team and were involved
throughout the game.
In what was a very even contest Towns kicked 3 goals 3 to Railways
3 goals 1 in the opening term. The second quarter saw Railways
kick an extra goal to Towns to take a 3 point lead into half
time. The third quarter was low scoring for Railways with them
only kicking a single behind and Towns kicking 3 goals 1 behind
enabling Towns to take a 15 point lead into the final quarter.
Railways dug deep and clawed back the lead and with 43 seconds
left on the clock they kicked their third goal of the quarter
to give them a one-point lead. The ball was cleared out of the
centre and found Graham Adams in the forward 50, in his typical
style he played on and kicked his SEVENTH of the day to give
the Bulldogs the lead with 10 seconds on the clock. The final
bounce was just a matter of making sure the Railways didn’t
get the ball and the boys obtained a terrific victory.
Thank you all - I could not have asked for a better birthday
present.
Goal kickers: Graham Adams 7, Sadiq Miska 2 and Chris McCarthey

Best on ground was hard to pick: there were so many players
who just gave it all they had. Shaquille Gregory was just awesome
in the back line. Ashley Green – Headland just kepted
popping up everywhere, as did Greg Cross and William Thorne.
Torren Wear was busy in various positions and Kristian Beven
was as reliable as ever. Graham’s 7 goals were wonderful.
The most pleasing things was to see how you worked as a team
and just hung in there, when Railways forth back you with stood
the pressure and came out very worthy winners. Great stuff.

Boys, you did it again. WINNERS!!!!! Fantastic team effort
against Railways Blue at the Rec. Cobber and Sean did a great
job this week, and it was so nice to see some of you kicking goals,
who normally haven’t had the chance. I guess rotating
your positions and the bench have really helped you guys.
Our star players for Round 11 were Sharzah, Matt Peters, Dylan, Ethan
and Kieren. Excellent game skills boys.
Goal kickers were: Sharzah with 2, Dylan 2, Jayden Simpson 2,
and with one goal each Adam, Tyson, Quanie and Ethan. Final
Score boys was Towns 10-18 (78) to Railways 3-3 (21).
Thanks to Jordon Gabliesh for running boundary, Stewart for Goals,
and special thanks to Brad Muir again for making the effort to come
and field umpire. You guys are great!
Thanks also go to the parents who helped with “Running, Water
and Oranges”. I don’t know all your names, but thanks
for your efforts as well.
Congrats to the kids who played up in the 16’s after our
game. Hope you enjoyed the experience, the win and the extra
exercise!
Don’t forget, if you don’t train you will more than likely
be benched first up – so let Lisa know if you are not going
to be at trainings or games!
Next Game boys is at home against Railways White. Let’s
go for our 3rd win in a row! Good Luck!
