MATCH REPORT:
Blake
Waight was a clear B.O.G racking up possessions across half back at will and he
was well supported by fellow backs Sean Clark and Simon Vandervelde who kept
their opponents in check and provided plenty of rebound ball. Veteran Trent
Stevens was again a solid contributor on ball and up forward finishing with two
goals and 25 possessions.
The last
quarter was pleasing again by our boys, keeping the Saints goalless and banging
on 5 goals and 1 behind to get some much needed percentage to keep us up the
pointy end of the ladder.
The
challenge doesn't get any bigger than this week as we take on OHA at home in a
battle for 2nd spot. The Ships have been the talk of the OSFA with their
recruiting drive over the preseason adding plenty of Ex-TSL players to their
already experienced list. We believe we can more than match them with our young
on ball brigade to give our forwards enough chances to kick a winning score.
Nick Bien, Jack Bromfield and Ash Woodhead will all be available for selection
to help strengthen our side and provide the coaching staff with some tough
decisions during the week. It should be another exciting contest so get
along and Support the Bows in our 2nd last Home Game for the year.

MATCH REPORT:
Defensively, it was an excellent effort, with Annie Lord, Kristy Baker and Sarah
Donnelly working overtime in defence. The midfield was involved in an arm
wrestle with the Suns, who also have quality players. Uni’s Bonnie Grynglas was
in outstanding form, assisted by Captain Sam Rose and Hannah Simpson to drive
the ball forward. We only kicked 2 goals for the day, the second courtesy of an
amazing Remi Bampton snap, but it was enough to take the 4 points in a close
contest. Charlotte O’Neill, Madi Mulder and Mimi Refaei also had notable
games.
I could not fault the effort and grit the team displayed, particularly to come
from behind to grab the win. It’s a tribute to the players that they never gave
up, but there is still some work to do on our overall skills if we are to match
it with the top sides.
It's worth noting that prior to the game the Suns took up a collection from
their players to cover the usual $5 gate charge of the SFLW. They were under no
obligation to do this, but it shows their integrity to pass this money onto Uni.
We now go into the bye weekend, with a chance to rest
some players and have a short break before taking on Lindisfarne on the 15th August.
BELLES PLAYER OF THE WEEK AWARD –
