Match Reports |
FROM THE PREZ,
THE “O TEES” DIDN’T READ THE SCRIPT, BUT WE REMEMBERED OUR LINES
On a miserable day, following a week of rain, the Seniors overcame a gallant foe, the Scoobies continued to impress, the Thirds were unbelievable but alas, an undermanned Under19’s were not good enough on the day.
SENIORS
Old Trinity came to play and with a host of young fellas and a big bastard called Rambo up forward on fire they really took it to us all day. Three goals up at quarter time, we stuck tight and clawed our way back but were still down at the main break. Eventually the pendulum swung our way and we started to take control but credit to the “Trinners”, they never chucked it in.
Smokey Tardiff again supreme, the skipper responded to the coach’s challenge, “Flo” Hylton had a blinder and the “Big Baby” James Jorgensen was outstanding. Jono Dixon in his comeback game looked impressive and we all congratulate Jesse Band – Conrick on a terrific debut.
SECONDS
A cast of thousands missing but this squad has got a resolve about it, I smell something cooking!!! In charge all day, they were determined to get back on the horse and that they did. Lots of belief in the group, Coach Troy Harbinson has got them up and about, no doubt about it. Drew Maddox, a new player to the club coming off back to back knee reco’s looked good, Sam Dupe-Watt is really going well and they old firm of Malone and Hampton rock solid all day. Lachy Ferguson on the comeback trail after an off season operation is ready for the big stage. Great win lads.
THIRDS
With about 15 players out of action in the ones and twos, plus half a dozen of there own unavailable, the stocks were pretty thin. Super Coach Robbie Muir had to pull the boots on and Gambo dragged himself out of bed to answer the call…..great effort indeed, especially for an 8.00 am team meeting!!!
What an effort, led all day, with Mark Parrent, Will Schwab, Ash Huggins, Vinnie and Schotty all superb. Got a bye this week, a bit of a freshen up and a few boys back in town, the boys are looking good.
UNDER 19’s
The Under 19’s had a tough day out at Preston taking on the all conquering Northern Bullants. Missing some key personnel it appears they ran out of legs and were probably beaten by a better side on the day. Talking to a few of the boys on Saturday night they think there best side would be right in the mix, and are looking to get back on track this week.
THANKS JOFFA!!!!
Major Sponsor MELBOURNE CITY TOYOTA supremo Brett Jefferson (himself a former Collegian Champ) visited the club last Thursday night and dropped off a stack of training jumpers, footies and water bottles. Thanks mate, the boys really appreciate it.
LITTLE SHINKERS
Great to see Andrew Shinkfied down supporting the boys on the weekend, happened to notice he was walking a bit taller and beaming with pride and with very good reason. Proud father to a future champ Charlie. Great stuff mate, I’m sure Charlie will love watching the old man running around in a few weeks time!!!!!!!
UNION HOTEL PLAYER OF THE WEEK
The Round 2 award went to Under 19 Star Will Pocknee. Congratulations mate, enjoy the fine food and fare at the UNION HOTEL, proud sponsors of Collegians for many years.
MEMBERS DRAW
It took four goes but this week draw was won by Geoff Porz who promptly donated it back to the club. Love your work mate.
THANKS OLD TRINITY
