SANDGATE MASTERS V KEDRON Round 6 2012
This weekend Sandgate Masters played against Kedron at a night game Masters Carnival in Yeronga. All our previous contests against Kedron have been very equal and competitive, and we believed this game would be similar on a cold and wet Sunday night.
Both teams struggled in the weather conditions but Sandgate led at quarter time with goals from Steiny and Fev. The second quarter resulted in a behind only, kicked by both teams and at half time Sandgate led by 5 points. Nails was having a great game and has really consolidated his position in the forward line. New player matt fitted in well up front also, and will only gain more confidence with more games.
Kedron kicked two more goals in the 3rd quarter to Sandgate’s one (Nails) and led at the turn by 2 points. Sandgate’s backline led by Andy, Banksy, carts, and Willow held strong in the final quarter and with a desperate goal by Des in the final minute, Sandgate finished the winner.
Great team effort on a cold night, with special mention to Fergy, Joey and Mark Sinclair in the middle who controlled the tempo well. The cup went to Middy who was excellent in the conditions and took some great marks.
A quick bus trip back and excellent bus driving by Andy, with a great diversion to the Red Brick Hotel, had us back in the clubhouse by 2 cans, enjoying some more refreshments.
Thanks to all the support staff who ventured out on such a bad night, you must be crazier than us.- couldn’t do it without you. As always, thanks for umpiring Dale- you do a great job.
Final score Sandgate 4-5-29, Kedron 3-6-24.
