Round 1 - 12th April

The rain held off and Uni enjoyed double victories at the picturesque OHA oval. New players made valuable contributions while a few old stagers shone.

Reserves - Second Half

Coach Marek Matuszek prepared his side for the last quarter.

Leith McCarthy played his last game as he moves to Melbourne for work.

 
Hates the attention....

Seniors - Full Game

Out early for their warm-ups


Umps had been in the news all week - the game needs them.



New Captain and first year player gets off to a good start by winning the toss 

Ben Mathewson joins the club from North Hobart and Allen Bielski returns from a stint in Queensland

Coach Burgess and Hamilton at work in the sticks

 
New players Tim Lewinski from Hobart and George McAdam from Old Scotch - kicks a nice goal

 

Reeves making friends and Stevens, who was in good form, looking for options

 
Cracknell was usefull all day and Reeves takes a low mark

Great to see Ben Beams return to the club after coaching Glenorchy - he kicked 5

Luke Bartulovic takes a nice grab and new player Matthew Ede celebrates a goal with Reeves.

 
Mark to Corbett who looked fit after a 2013 season plagued with injury and Bartulovic at the first break

Sean Hamilton and Tim Lewinski enjoy the break while Jack Hamilton listens in

 
Down by a point but Uni had had 4 more scoring shots. Troy Stewart has retired but supporting the coach from the bench.


 

Good to see a mature Jordan Gunther join his step-dad Ben Beams on the field.

 
New players Matthew Ede and Tim Lewinski should have been pleased with their first quarters but probably
wondering about playing as a Rainbow rather than a Tiger or Lion!

 
Arnold consistently provided first use of the ball and Beams marks

 
Great mark and goal to Bielski


Isaac Mathewson crossed from North Hobart with his brother Ben

 
Jack Hamilton clears the ball and Reeves on his merry way to kicking 5

 
Arnold and Mathewson and coach Burgess defends

Hamilton and Bartulovic

 
Gunther supported by Hamilton with Michael Gowans looking over the fence

Marks and near mark to Burgess, Fenton and Rippon

 
The main break and nine ponts up but at 5.11 accuracy is still a concern 

 
Arnold to Beams
 
Arnold gets his first major as a Rainbow.

Bielski and Beams kicking another.

 
Matthew Ede with his first goal......

  ...and his second
Gunther, Bielski and Matthewson are reminded that OHA won with the last kick of the night last year.
Bielski sat out the last quarter with a hammie twinge.


Only up by two goals but Reeves extends that with an early last quarter goal


Beams with another goal and Stevens delivering quality product to the forwards


Marks to Cracknell and Arnold

 
Ben Matthewson was used to replace the big bodies of Stride and Gowans from last year's team

 
Beams and Reeves were too good up forward and steered Uni to a convincing win.


A 49 point win to start the season


Reigning Premiers DOSA at Uni next week which will be a real test.


 
Burgess accepts the Chris Nicholls Shield and Joey Arnold tries to scull above his weight with a predictable result!
