UNDER 14
Division 1
Ocean Grove Walter 6.3(39) def by St Joseph’s Black 12.10(82)
Joeys kicked well in the first quarter to put themselves six goals in front. Walter came back in the second half of the game with Jack Thomson kicking four goals and leading well for the ball. But it wasn’t enough to get in front of the taller and stronger St Joseph’s side, which held the lead all day.
Jonathon Punchard had plenty of marks in the backline, as did Ned Badrock. Hayden Cooper dominated the game and never once gave up.
Best: Hayden Cooper, Jack Thomson, Jonathon Punchard, Joey Davidson, Ned Badrock, Fletcher Ward.
Goals: Jack Thomson 4, Toby Duckett 1, Fletcher Ward 1
Division 4
Ocean Grove Pearson 0.5(5) def by Queenscliff 7.6(48)
Pearson got off to a good start but unfortunately had trouble kicking goals again and it cost the team when it was on top and it was made to pay later in the match. Queenscliff had some big targets in its forward line, which made it hard for Ocean Grove to match up, though the boys gave it a really good go.
Best: Xavier Dean, Josh Anderson, Sunny Bohnke.
Division 6
Ocean Grove Every 6.3(39) def by Anakie/Little River 9.6(60)
It was a tough day for the Every boys out there but we are proud of the way they carried themselves. They are improving as a side each week and we can’t question their efforts.
Best: Lachie Holmes, Baxter Greenfield, Liam Staehr.
