After half-time they showed much more endeavour and fight for the contest, showing that when they play like that they can be competitive with anyone.
Sam Singleton and Jack Charlton’s clearance work stood up in the midfield, whilst Rusty Milward and Aaron Litchfield were also pivotal for us.
Final score: Blighty 6.1 (37) def by Jerilderie 19.15 (129).
Reserves
It was a tough game on Saturday with a few of Blighty’s usual players missing, but the boys gave it their all and never stopped fighting.
While we didn’t come away with the win, it was encouraging to see the team stick together and support one another right to the final siren.
There was plenty of heart shown across the ground, and our efforts didn’t go unnoticed.
Best on ground went to Ben Crossley, and other standouts were Billy Laws and Dylan Crosby. The Captain’s Award went to Daniel Charlton.
Plenty to be proud of as we head into our final game of the season next week. Let’s finish strong.
