But club stalwarts believe the club’s best footy is ahead of it, with a number of classy players to come back into the side from injury. Cade Maskell slotted into the full forward position and kicked five goals. While Maskell played his part well, the team was again unsettled by former full forward Dwayne Holt’s absence. The dynamo was diagnosed with leukaemia, a shock that has left the club reeling. The Parrots are also missing the onfield services of

playing coach Will Thursfield. Thankfully the former Richmond FC gun will return in the coming weeks. Big man Chris Rump, who has had an extended break on the injury list, will also come back soon after battling well in the Seconds. Maffra started the game better than the Parrots, running the ball well. The Parrots looked uncomfortable and seemed to have a play on at all costs policy that saw them tackled on too many occasions. In the second quarter Maskell took the game by the scruff of the neck, booting two goals on the run. He converted another late shot from a set shot at 50 metres. Nagel slotted one too. Vernon and Marriott, somewhat held early, started to get more of the ball. Marriott was enjoying a tough battle with Maffra’s Coleman. In the third term Maffra had three quick goals on the board before the Parrots could respond with a goal through Hillberg. Browne kicked another, before Verboon, who was providing a good target, slotted two more. In the last quarter Maffra again got the early jump, pushing the margin out to 40 points. Maskell brought the lead back with a major at the 12 minute mark, before McGrath drove another through. Unfortunately Maffra again kicked away, before McGrath again slotted a goal. Maskell got one more near the end of the game to cap off a fruitful day. Best for the Parrots were Contin, McGrath, Mackie, McLennan, Maskell and Geitz.

Parrots fly high THE Leongatha Parrots Under 14s bounced back on Saturday, trouncing an undermanned Yallourn North outfit. The boys were never troubled, with Jack Dunn starting the ball rolling with two quick goals. Ruckman Lachie Thomas, who is quickly gaining a feel for the game, put the Parrots’ next major on the board soon after. Jonah Ball, Michael McKinnon and big man Trent Westaway would follow up with goals of their own before the end of the first term. In the second quarter the Parrots mosquito brigade of Tom Brew and Josh Boler came to the fore. Brew was first with a slick goal, with Boler following suit soon after. Damon Ginnane was
also coming into the game, kicking a goal. Meanwhile Jack Balagh and Mitchell Harry were offering solid targets up forward. The third quarter started in a similar fashion to the second, with Brew and Boler kicking goals. Tom Evans, Jordi Geary and Nathan Trotto continued to help their team gain ascendancy with gut running. Ben Ryan was lifting and Boler chipped in with a superb goal from the boundary line. Zac Caughey was playing a quarter back role of the half back line. Nathan Trotto kicked another major. Two more Tom Brew goals in the early stages of the last quarter topped off a brilliant day for the crumbing forward. Lachie DenelzenDavey too played a scintillating last term.
Tom Brew: the crumbing forward had a big day out on Saturday, with a brilliant goal kicking performance.
Final score: Yallourn North 1.3.9 to Leongatha 11.3.69 (the scoreboard was stopped as part the ‘mercy rule’, so the Parrots’ score was actually much higher).
Alberton in State Championships finals LAST month the Alberton Football Netball League Open women’s team was crowned the 2013 Netball Victoria Regional State League Open Division Premiers for the Eastern Region of Victoria. As the winners of the grand final they have now been invited to participate in the Regional State League Premiers Challange on Sunday, May 5. This will be a round robin competition between the four regions of Victoria: Goulburn/North East, Central Highlands, Western and Eastern and will be held at the State Netball Hockey Centre. Each region will play the other three regions in a round robin style competition with the top two teams going through to the final, with the winner declared the
State Champions. This final will be played as the curtain raiser for the Melbourne Vixens home game against the Central Pulse. The Alberton team comprises Tess Angarane, Elle Angarane, Hayley Pupetti, Jarney Thomas, Jess McRae, Kayla Mcindoe, Therese Dalmau, Christie Hillberg, Kara WoganBrowne with Cath Chester the coach. This group of local South Gippsland girls who play in the Alberton Football Netball League has combined into a great team, and they would love to see as much support as possible at the State Netball and Hockey Centre on Sunday to help them win those early rounds and hopefully a spot in the grand final. The first round of games begins at 9am with the grand final at 12 noon.
Going to states: the Alberton Netball League team will be taking on the best netballers in the state on Sunday.
