A cold and wet day greeted the boys with tough conditions as we got off to slow start. The first quarter was a close contest with the Power scoring just one major for the term. We picked up a gear in the second quarter and the boys showed their skills with moving the ball quickly and a great team display of running in numbers, handballing and talking. The boys continued with their effort in the third and fourth quarter to come away with a comfortable win.
Nathan McDonald played his best game for the season followed by solid performances by Tom Collier, Jayden Collier, Bailey Minogue and Jake Coates.
