We took on newcomers Wyong on Saturday and were not quite sure what to expect, as they had tested most of the teams they had played. In the wash up we shouldn't have been so concerned with a resounding win 33.23.221 to 5.4.34 win.
Ryno bagged 11 and there were 10 other goalkickers.
What was most pleasing for us is we finally broke the hoodoo in the ressies having a win there too (we had been done by 10 or less in the last 5 meetings), whats more we did it with 15 ressies blokes missing in action, taking the total number of ressies used this year to 40. (and I managed to get another game!)
I think i said in the other thread that if Nelson Bay were on their game they would push City. Well they didn't just push them, they brushed them off to win by 52 points. City Led by 2 points at the 1/4 time break, but from there it was all Marlin as they kept City to just 4 more goals for the match. Final Score 15.13.103 to City's 6.15.51
The Gosford V Terrigal match was all square at half time which would have suprised many given they are entrenched at opposite ends ofthe ladder. Terrigal must have been given the proverbial pasting at half time however, putting on 10 goals in the 2nd half and keeping Gosford to just 1 more for the match. Quite a number of Gosford's players are Under 18 though and hopefully for the league and their club they will stick through the hard times and come good for the future. Final Score Terrigal 13.8.86 d Gosford 4.6.30
In the final game it was the same old tale for Warners Bay- in it at half time and falling apart after the break. The Bay lad at 1/4 time, were within a few points at the 1/2, 2 goals behind at 3/4 time but ended up on the wrong side of an 8 goal defeat. It was noted that the Bay were plagued by injury and absence, the coach pulled on the boots & the recently retired president also, however their efforts were to no avail. Final Score Killarney Vale 17.19.121 Warners Bay 10.8.68
