Reserves
It was a tough day at the office for the Blighty reserves team, as we came up against a strong and well-drilled Deni Rovers opposition.
While the scoreboard didn’t fall in our favour, the boys gave it everything they had and showed great heart and determination throughout the match.
Despite the result, there were some solid individual performances.
Zach Everingham led the way with a standout game, showing grit and consistency all day.
Sam Singleton followed with a strong effort, providing much-needed drive and pressure around the contest.
Liam McMillan also put in a great shift, working hard on both sides of the ball.
Plenty to take away as we continue to grow and develop as a group throughout the season
Final score: Blighty 0.0 (0) def by Deni Rovers 26.13 (169).

Logan Marshall also had a very good first quarter and then in the last really trying to rally the team.
Liam Gordon played one of his best games so far.
Also Harlem Morgan showed great signs of skill and determination.

Fifths
Blighty played Deni Rovers on their nice big ground, playing at 1pm in the heat, safe to say all kids looked like cherries when it was over.
It was a great game and a great day again.
Good job team.
