Weekend Results - Round 10, 2021
4/6 OBGFC teams secured wins on their return to football after the season was interrupted by COVID-19 lockdowns.
The Seniors made it 2/2 wins against the reigning premiers, Uni Blues, with a 46-point victory! Hutchy’s side were off to a flyer with a six goals to one opening term, however Uni wrestled back momentum and whittled down the Tonners lead to only two points at 3QT.
A barnstorming eight goals to one final term secured an Old Brighton victory and propelled the team into third spot on the ladder, while the Blues have now dropped to fifth. Best on ground was Will Lewis who kicked a sensational nine goals and now tops the the Premier Section goalkicking table with 24.
The Reserves dug deep to produce a gutsy victory against Uni Blues for the second time this year. After being held scoreless in the opening term, Roscoe’s side worked their way back into the game to lead by two points at 3QT. Then, in the blink of an eye, consecutive goals to Ben Branson, Tom Larkworthy, Patty Liston & Mathew Freeman put the game to bed!
Celebrating Morgan McGregor’s 50th game for the club, the Tonner Women were back to their winning ways with a convincing 59-point win against Old Haileybury. Our Co-Captains led from the front with Indi Tait best on ground and Cat O’Brien snagging two goals.
The Under 19’s returned with a huge win over De La Salle and now sit third on the Premier Section Ladder. Brian’s best were Josh Duscher, Seb Harris-Knipe (3 goals), Ferg Murray (1 goal), Lachie Caldwell, Ben Fisher (3 goals) and Jordan Segar (1 goal).
The Thirds had a disappointing loss to De La Salle in Brandon Harris’ 100th game for the club. Jack Rutter made his annual cameo appearance for the occasion and slotted three goals. Thanks to Peter Chantzos and Harry Osborne who filled in as coaches, Paul Ryan who goal umpired, and Campbell Tweedie who umpired the game.
The Fourths, without their captain and spiritual leader, Charlie Kenny, had a difficult evening against Hampton Rovers under lights, going down by 70 points. Big thank you to Brian Randall, Sandy Faulds, Josh Snowsill, Will Hughes, Andrew Tzimas, Xavier Pym & Harry Osborne, who all volunteered as umpires, coaches, runner & team managers, respectively.
Without these volunteers who step up to fill roles, our Thirds and Fourths would simply not be able to exist. If you are able to lend a hand on gameday please get in touch! We have a variety of roles to fill each week and the support is greatly appreciated.
