Saturday 5th May 2012
A fine and sunny autumn day greeted the visiting Goulburn Swans for the first match of the season in the Under 14s AFL. With the Snowy oval looking its best for a long time, the two teams took to the field for a very entertaining match. Newcomer, Zac Saddler, quickly put the first points on the scoreboard for the Supercats. The Supercats followed up with a quick succession of behinds to impress the crowd. However it wasn’t long before the Swans retaliated and finished the first quarter with a slight lead of just 3 points. 1st quarter Supercats 6, 4- 10 Swans 2, 1- 13. The second quarter was a closely fought battle between the two teams with some very good football and teamwork demonstrated to the spectators. Going into the halftime break our local team held their heads high with a narrow lead over the visitors. 2nd quarter Sc 4, 1 -25 Sw 3, 2- 20. With all hands on the field, our players were starting to feel the pinch of a hard game and were not able to halt the Swans 25 point lead. 3rd quarter Sc 6, 1-7 Sw 5, 5- 35. With a player down in the last quarter the Supercats still did not give up and slowed the Swans efforts. 4th quarter Sc 3,1- 19 Sw 3,1 – 19. It is difficult to identify stand out players on the day, as the team all played very well, but special mention is deserved by the Saddler brothers, Zac, Will and Noah, as well as Kurt Wassink and Mitch Eager. Congratulations to Chloe Ware, Tim Anderson, Jayden Cernigoi, for their efforts in their first game.
Final score Supercats 61 Swans 87
