The players began the game very flat and allowed Baulkham Hills to dictate for most of the first half, although Jonah's two goals in the second half did provide a bit of lift.

We had a good third quarter, managing to get more possession and keep them out with our good defence. Bryce took some fantastic marks in the backs.

Our players really came good in the last quarter, finding correct targets, making leads, shepherding and competing more for the ball. Tyrone kicked a screamer goal from a long way out, and there were three other goals and a couple of behinds giving us a convincing 26 points.

We came close in the end, only missing out by 12 points. This was a vast improvement on our first game against them, so all the players are to be commended.

Thanks to Michael and Pino for being water carriers, and to our fabulous crowd supporting the team.
