Dalyston overwhelm the Giants WITH a strong opening quarter, Korumburra Bena was no match against the fierce Dalyston side. Dalyston dominated the game from the first siren, kicking six goals in the opening term. However, the team let plenty of opportunities go to waste, kicking eight behinds as well. Korumburra Bena was back in the game by the second quarter, picking up the intensity and contesting the ball. This was the first match forwards Jake McMillan and Michael Cooke have played together, and both enhanced the match. Dalyston supporters were impressed with the improvement of the young Giants side, as it worked to keep up with the opposition. The Giants’ pressure worked to stifle more of Dalyston’s opportunities, keeping it to just two goals for the quarter. Meanwhile, the Giants secured four goals and five behinds going into half time. Despite the lack of wind on the day, Dalyston seemed to be favouring one side and came out firing in the third quarter. Onballer Michael Marotta was moved to the front and set a spark in motion for Dalyston. He and Brad Fisher each kicked five goals for the
match. Dalyston kicked six goals in the third term, but again wasn’t capitalising on its opportunities, sending its tally of behinds up to 19. Unfortunately for the Giants, Dean Wylie and Kristian Butler were working overtime in the backline, and only one goal was scored. The last quarter was much of the same. The Giants displayed some good passages of play, but Dalyston was too strong. Korumburra Bena fielded a few U18s in the match, and they performed well. The final score was Dalyston 17.22.124 to Korumburra Bena 7.10.52. Dalyston’s best players were Marotta, Kyle Kirk, Butler, Wylie, Kainen Schrape and Matt Rosendale. Korumburra Bena’s best players were Jake McMillan, Cameron Trewin, Luke Van Rooye, William Jeffs, Ashley Snooks and Alexander Johnston. Dalyston will play Bunyip this weekend. This is the first time Dalyston has come up against a team outside the former Alberton League, and it is looking forward to seeing what West Gippsland has to offer.

Inspiring win for the Panthers DESPITE dwindling numbers, Kilcunda Bass (KB) fought back to claim its first win for the season against Phillip Island on Saturday. Tragedy struck early for the Panthers when key forwards Luke James and
Matt Moore were forced to pull out of the match on Saturday morning. The Panthers were going into the clash against their rivals as the underdogs, but an Anzac ceremony to honour the Diggers prior to the Seniors match spurred the boys on. Putting the pressure
on early, Panthers’ Brent Macaffer was brilliant in the centre, and Adam Stock made a great impact on the match. Only a few points separated the teams at half time. Matt Edwards was dangerous in the backline, affecting Phillip Island forward Steven Pimm’s influence on the game.
However, Phillip Island’s Shaun Everington and Jaymie Youle were still a force to be reckoned with, and Phillip Island fought back to be up by three in the last quarter. With no bench, the last thing the Panthers needed was another injury. However, playing coach Ben Vague was forced off the
ground with an injury, leaving Kilcunda Bass to face its rivals with 17 players. The huge crowd including past players drove the boys to keep going. Keen to claim the win, they showed a lot of character in the last quarter. KB managed to turn the score around, and Jason Wells snapped the winning goal in the last 60 seconds, totalling five majors for the game. The final score was Kilcunda Bass 8.13.61 to Phillip Island 8.8.56. The player who showed the Anzac spirit was awarded a medal to
commemorate Anzac Day. The medal went to KB’s Ben Law, in his first game for 2017. Kilcunda Bass’ best players were Jason Wells, Brent Macaffer, Ben Law, Danny Wells, Timothy Smith and Matt Edwards. Phillip Island’s best players were Jaymie Youle, Jack Keating, Mark Griffin, Nick Higginson, Jarrod Witnish and Jarrod Andreatta. Kilcunda Bass will play Garfield this week, which will be another big test. Phillip Island will come up against Korumburra Bena.
