Round 18 Netball Reports

Australian Trenching & Excavations UNDER 15s

Seymour 15 def by Bears 56

The scoreboard didn’t reflect the effort the girls put into today’s game.

We had some great passages of play and worked hard in defence.

Charlotte Bradley was accurate in the first half, supported by Matilda Barry, Sienna Lynch and Lily Tippett.

Isabel Meller and Eden Webster created many turnovers throughout the game but unfortunately we couldn’t capitalise on the scoreboard.

Eva Hay battled all day, contesting and applying pressure over the ball.

We have lots of positives to take away from the season with individual improvements across the court.

Sophie Butterworth worked the GS bib for a full 4 quarters. Sophie took some great catches and shot beautifully and accurately. Her hard work in the ring to get front position did not go unnoticed.

Ella Zotti had a tough gig in the middle of the court. She continuously made hard drives and fed wonderfully into our goalers.

Paige Cooper was yet again vital in our defensive end, stopping crucial goals and providing the Lions with plenty of opportunities to score.

Following a couple of large wins, the Lions came out determined to take it up to a strong Bears outfit. From the outset it was a tough tussle between the sides but the Lions were able to get the advantage in the first half before the Bears clawed back the lead in the third quarter. In a closely fought final quarter the Lions held on for a 14 point victory. Jack Radford returned in a best on ground performance to seal the league leading goalkicker award. Nick Dundon worked hard around the ground a kicked a fantastic goal from 50 on the run early in the game. Through the middle of the ground Nic Davey, Joel Badger and Joel Brooks were all influential in the final outcome. A great win before heading into a big September.

It was a consistent four quarter performance from Seymour, keeping the Bears goalless in the second term to set the game up. Once again, Riley Mason led all comers with five goals up forward, with Darcy Giles and Ben McCarthy lively at his feet. Jack Peris was best on ground, providing plenty of dash around the ground while racking up possessions through the middle alongside Nathan Beattie, James Wooster and Dylan Cook.

Seven first quarter goals set the game up for Seymour, doing well to keep Tatura scoreless for the entirety of the first half. Following the main break the Lions let their foot off the gas but were still able to emerge with a solid 106 point win ahead of a tough test against Shepp Bears coming this weekend. Taiten Thomas was a livewire up forward, taking some strong marks and combining well with Dale Short as both finished with four majors to their names. Joel Durham kept up his big effort in the ruck with another consistent performance, working with Curtis Powell and Cooper Lubeck through the middle of the ground. The win means the Lions will finish in fourth spot following the final game of the home and away season.

Some inaccurate kicking in the first quarter saw the Lions fail to capitalise on all the play but they were able to make amends in the final three quarters of the game, kicking seven, five and seven goals to round out a great performance. Riley Mason showed yet again why he’s the best player in the competition with a dominant performance including nine goals. The tally could’ve been much higher if not for some unselfish play throughout the game. The midfield group dominated around stoppages with Nathan Beattie, Jack Peris and Jack Murphy all in the best alongside Dylan Cook who reinvented himself as a tap ruckman. Other highlights of the day included great debut performances from Jackson Mansfield and Ben McCarthy. Mansfield was a strong target up forward all day with three majors, while McCarthy was busy around the ground and managed to get a goal of his own on the board.  Best: R Mason, N Beattie, J Peris, D Cook, J Murphy Goals: R Mason 9, J Mansfield 3, J Murphy 3, L Lubeck 2, N Beattie 1, D Giles 1, B McCarthy 1, J Peris 1, R Schraven 1
