AJAX v Parkdale Vultures - Away
It was a disappointing day for the AJAX Reserves as they recorded a 54-point loss to the Parkdale Vultures in a top-of-the-table clash. The 13.11 (89) to 5.5 (35) result was the team’s first loss of the year, coming on a day in which the team celebrated the 100th game of veteran Joel Burston.
A high-scoring first term in which the Jackas took advantage of their opportunities saw a 1-point deficit at quarter time, as forward Daniel Cohen showed his class with two goals.
The team fought bravely in the second quarter with tough efforts from Brandon Efron and Ezra Herszberg in the midfield, however it did not translate to the scoreboard as the Vultures took a 25-point lead into half time.
The second half commenced with a clever goal from Justin Spicer and while the Jackas continued to battle valiantly, the Vultures took control of the contest, running away with a comfortable victory.
