Killarney Vale upset Newcastle City in the only BDAFL Black Diamond Cup Premier Division match played yesterday. The match result was somewhat of an upset with Killarney Vale proving too strong for Newcastle City winning 13.13.91 to 6.6.42.
It was the third time this year that these two teams had met and on the previous two occasions, Newcastle City had come out on top reasonably easy, albeit both matches were played on Newcastle.
Back at home, the Bombers entered the match with something to prove and they matched the ladder leaders right from the first bounce and they were able to lead by two points at the first change.
The second quarter saw the Bombers take control of the match with Dane Amidy and Hugh Wells leading the charge up forward, Killarney Vale were able to kick six goals to one and open up a decisive 34 point lead at the long break.
With a lot of work to do, Newcastle City were expected to make a charge in the third quarter and whilst star midfielders Anthony Stewart and Luke Rawsley were trying their hardest they were unable to break down the Bomnbers defence, which was being marshalled brilliantly by veteran Corey Shackleton.
At the final change, Killarney Vale had increased their lead to 52 points.
The final quarter, was a bit of an arm wrestle with both sides kicking two goals each, which meant that Killarney had recorded a confident boosting 49 point victory.
For the Bombers, Shackleton, Josh Mifsud, Daniel Lloyd and Alex Wells were their best, with Hugh Wells and Amidy both kicking four goals.
Coincidence or not but Robert 'Prime' Minister was back for his first game in years & his extremely vocal support from the clubhouse window surely assisted in the victory!
