Semi Final 1
19 August 2023
AJAX v Parkside - Home
Episode 12: Notification - your “Package” has been delivered!
Well the bell well and truly rang today at the home of football - Gary Smorgon Oval
For Parkside the final bell signified the end of the season
For one individual, it’s probably the noise he’ll be hearing all night
For the rest of us who were blessed to be in attendance today, the bell rang to mark the arrival of The Package.
Jarrod, today you showed us all what you are capable of and on behalf of the Coach and everyone there, thanks for parking basketball (for now) and delivering a seriously top quality footballing masterclass today.
But, just as the proverb says “One swallow does not make a summer”, one superb performance does not tell the whole story of what we achieved today. This win was built on a real team performance where everyone took responsibility and owned what they had to do when their moment arrived.
What was most impressive was the attack on the ball and the commitment to the contest even when the game was won in the last quarter. We talked, we tackled, we harassed, we made sure that every possession was an earned one
As I said last week, we have beaten every team in the division including the previously undefeated top team. Now we can add to that another achievement having won every game played as a home game for the season. Today we also broke the record for most food sold at the South Melbourne canteen!
Congratulations to you all. You have now won the first 4 quarter out of 12 quarter season. Now to go and grab the next 4!
Before we sign out for this week, a special thanks to Rocky for being the time keeper and scoreboard operator, to Peter Kagan for being the team manager and helping us set everything up for the day and to all of your families and friends for coming along to support us.
