Round 12 2/8/09 Roleystone v's Kelmscott @ John Dunn Oval PDF Print E-mail

Roleystone took on Kelmscott in round 12 and injuries and sickness again took their toll on our numbers, but we never say die and we came out fighting.

Kelmscott took 3 shots to get their 1st major, but it was hard work for them.  We were winning the ball from the middle but our forwards were losing the ball in the air.  A 50mtr penalty to us saw Roley post our 1st goal, but we were working hard, applying some great pressure.

In the second one of the 14's boys that came to help Ryan H took a strong markin the full forward and squeezed it through.  Brandon ran hard along the wing, kept the ball going forward ans some desperate knocking of the ball got it to Ryan H who popped through another one.  It was stirring stuff.  Chris was trying hard, Cody was throwing his body in, working the ball froward and running non-stop.  Alex and another 14's boy Laurence were working tirelessly in the back line, ably suppored by Sean C and Blake.  Kelmscott were strong in the air and had a full bench of fresh legs - definately an advantage.  Our boys never stopped trying and continued to chase and hassle all day. Jarrod put on some good tackles, he's a great asset to our team.

I the 3rd Jarrod kicked a lovely running goal, straight as a die.  Ryan H really helped us out, his 5 goals were fantastic.  David worked tirelessly all day, he never gave up.  All our boys put 100% into the game, we kept on running and kept on tackling.

Another victory for our team effort, our work rate and our great team spirit keep us ticking over.  Well done boys and Coach Sam for your dedicated and inspiring coaching.
