AJAX v La Trobe University
In wet and windy conditions the girls set themselves for this must win game against Latrobe Uni. The teams were evenly matched and we knew that ‘first to the ball’ was the order of the day.
It was a very scrappy affair early. The wind was blowing across the ground and with wide wings, scoring was proving difficult. Both defences were holding up, with the Jackettes lead by Gabriel, Grek, Abraham and Mrocki. Amira was in everything as was Blum, in her second game. In a scoreless first quarter, it was all even at the first break.
The second quarter was much same until a bit of individual brilliance from Klooger saw her kick a great goal. J Caplan was everywhere as was Shustin and Marget. Goldman was shining in the ruck. Romy Sacks in her first game had a few great touches and Newitt was doing a great job for us up forward.
The third quarter was much the same as the first with the game see-sawing between the defences. Mrocki was playing a great defensive role and Gabriel again lead the way in defence. A Caplan was getting into the game after an early knock with J Caplan and Shustin both continuing their good midfield form. Goldman was again strong in the ruck. Fleiszig and Blum were dominating the wings with Micmacher, Aarons and Ossip all looking dangerous up forward. We took an 8 point lead into the last change.
A big last quarter was needed and the girls delivered. Most of the quarter was played in our half. A great mark and goal by co-captain Jess Marget sealed the deal and the girls went on to score a well deserved 16 point victory.
Goals: Klooger, Marget
Best: Amira, Shustin, Goldman, Blum, Gabriel, J Caplan
