B Grade Report – Ironbank v Lobethal
@ Lobethal
6/4/2013
Positive Start To The Season
- SCIB cricketers lead the way.
The B’s started the season with a hard fought seven point win. Daniel Desengo, Benny Thomas and Wobbles Adams (until he was injured just before half time) showed the way in a fast skilful game of footy. Congratulations to Wobbles for his 150th senior game – although he will remain on 150 for a few weeks as he went down with a serious ankle injury.
The game was played in quite oppressive conditions with the temperatures in the mid to high 20’s and on the largest oval in the league.
New coach (or returning coach), Ray Ladhams, would have been impressed with the desire and will to win showed by our boys. This was typified by young Henry Reay who knee high to a grasshopper never took a backward step and Paul Garth and Joel Bawden who threw their bodies into the fray with reckless abandon.
Ironbank 1-4 4-5 6-8 9-8
Lobethal 2-0 3-1 5-4 8-7

11 mins – Loby checkside freaky goal 25m out, 8-8 to 7-6.
14 mins – Chucky dodges around the youngsters and drives long. Leith is being held and he goals from the resultant free kick. 9-8 to 7-6
