Mathoura cut down by Dogs

Mathoura’s goals came in the first half, one in each of the first two quarters, with Clinton Atkinson and Kai Shiels providing the lone sparks of joy for the well-beaten Timbercutters.

After scoring 86 points in the half, Strathmerton really turned it on after the break, adding a further 116 and keeping Mathoura without score.

Still winless at 0-10, Mathoura’s best chances of scoring a win this year will come in the next month.

The Timbercutters next face Katunga, which scored its first victory at the weekend, and has upcoming games against fellow winless sides Rennie and Blighty within the next four.

The clash with Katunga will be at home at Mathoura Recreation Reserve this Saturday, and could be a good opportunity for the Timbercutters to challenge themselves against a similarly matched opponent.

Some unfortunate news out of Mathoura has revealed that coach Adam Bourke has had to move away for work, with Clinton Atkinson taking over interim coaching duties.

Best on for Mathoura last week were Jordan Jones, Clinton Atkinson, Max Elder, Clinton McNabb, Mitch Worsnop.
