Thanks to the Richmond footy club for having all your
team in the rooms after the game it was great to see the clubrooms packed and is
what Old Scholars footy is all about. We look forward to doing the same at
Richmond in 6 weeks time.

MATCH REPORT:
Going into the game with our youngest and least
experience side we have had in the last few years , we new it was going to be a
hard game against last years premiers. We started the game well with a handy
20pt lead at quarter time with Alberry and Fidler controlling the half back line
and young Centre Half Forward Conor Barling giving us a real target up forward.
The second quarter
didn't go to plan and Richmond held an 8 point lead at half time. The second
half was very even with both side playing some good football. In the end
Richmond were just a little more experienced and we went down by two goals. To
have such a young side and to take it up to Richmond just goes to show we are on
the right track, better players for us Conor Barling at CHF who never gave up
Zac Fidler who is
getting better every game, and on baller Liam Kendall who was everywhere along
with youngsters Charlton and Alexander who did not stop running all day.
Next week we travel to the Eastern Shore to take on the
Ships at Geilston Bay. Both teams will be desperate to go into the Bye in
winning form so it should be a cracking contest. We should expect the exciting
Ethan Brock, Ash Woodhead, Nic Huizing, Joe Broadbent, and Brad Green all to be
available this week to make selection that bit tougher.
The Uni Women’s team played the reigning Premiers,
Lindisfarne, last Sunday and its fair to say it was a tough lesson.
This is the first time any team has really got hold of
us, and Lindisfarne’s experience, strength and run was a steep learning curve.
We knew how good they would be, but unfortunately, did not have the game to test
them.
Our pre-game plan was to try to pressure them and
restrict their run and movement – unfortunately, they did to us exactly what we
had hoped to do to them and the rest is history.
Best player for the day was Amy Madsen, who was a
terrier off half-back, and led the way with her strong, straight-line attack on
the footy. We were also well served by Ruby Campbell, Ellie Kierath and Erin
Chivers who fought hard all day.
Post-game, the girls realised how much work there is to
do to become a really good team and the only remedy for our woes is to get
around each other at training and work as hard as possible to keep improving our
skills. We can either hang our heads and feel sorry or get back up and give
Hobart a belting this weekend.

Only a
point in it at the last break
Strong
mark and goal to Hardy

Excellent grab to the Richmond player and tension showing on the bench.
Windy conditions made handling the ball difficult.
Great snap gave some breathing space.
Nice
mark to Waight
AFL standard dribbler from the boundary should have given Uni a comfortable win
but Richmond kicked two and nearly a third in the last minute to almost snatch
victory.
A close
win after the disappointment of last weeks one point loss to the Beans.
Disappointment for Richmond coach and ex Rainbow player Alex Gilmour
