AJAX v Old Scotch - Away
The boys arrived to their first game of the season full of adrenaline and positivity, ready to play their hearts out and make a statement in round 5.
We got out of the blocks quickly with Vogel kicking the first goal and shaking off any pre-game nerves still lingering. We continued to compete and play tough footy throughout the quarter and went into the break with belief.
Old Scotch were then able to break away in the next quarter and kicked consecutive goals quickly. A shuffle of positions provided some relief for our backline with Hendler shining in a new position however the polished disposals of Old Scotch was difficult to beat back repeatedly. With some of our boys playing their first game in years and no full preseason under the belt for many, the fitness of the group came under strain but the boys continued to battle on valiantly.
Taranto continued to muscle in on the Old Scotch centres proving a worthy opponent, Ostilly doing his best to shut down another of our adversaries, the midfield had their work cut out for them.
The AJAX Thirds team were thoroughly beaten today however showed what will be possible in the coming rounds with a much more evenly matched competition and great depth of talent in the squad.
Bests: Taranto, Hendler, Vogel, Schwartz, Ostilly, Berman
Goals: Vogel 2, Kahlberg, Hendler
