Nail biting finish
A growing number of spectators and supporters were treated to yet another great game of junior AFL last Saturday,12th May, as the Snowy Supercats under 14s played away at the Gungahlin Jets home ground. Once again first points were scored by the Supercats in a closely fought first quarter. The team played well together, putting the pressure on a strong Jets side by holding the lead for most of the quarter. Our Supercats led until a late score put the Jets ahead by a goal. Supercats 2, 4 : 16 Jets 3, 4: 22.
In the second quarter the Supercats dominated the field and held a good lead over the Jets. Excellent play by the team kept the pressure on and combined with a strong defence from full back , Nick Wassink, saw the Supercats finish the second quarter with 2, 2: 14 over the non-scoring Jets. Unfortunately the Supercats suffered a casualty with Kurt Wassink being escorted from the field after a heavy collision with another player.
With the team losing a strong player, and some new found motivation in the opposition, the third quarter looked dark for the Supercats. Whilst the Jets won the 3rd, our team still managed to keep the heads high at the end with still more goals added to the score. Supercats 2, 1: 13. Jets 4, 5: 29
In the final quarter, with no interchange and a hard fought game, the Supercats dug deep and pushed themselves to play a nail biting finish with outstanding plays from all members. It was right down to the final minutes with the Supercats winning the final quarter but missing out on the game victory by 5 points. Supercats 2, 3: 15 Jets 2, 0:12 final scores were Supercats 8, 10 :58 Jets 9, 9: 63.
