OFFICER Kangaroos struggled last week despite finishing strongly in most matches.
UNDER 15
After a poor first quarter in which the Foxes had too many easy opportunities, Officer started to play better in the second quarter. The second half was all Officer’s but poor kicking and decisionmaking made the early deficit too much to close. It was hard in the wet conditions to make up a sevengoal deficit.
Scores: Narre North Foxes 9.6.60 d Officer 3.12.30.
Goals: M. Haughton, T. Dyke, S. Surtess 1.
Best: B. Dekroon, J. Ansastasion, T. Dyke, J. Bell, R. Kennedy.
Awards: McDonald’s Bobby Dekroon, Hungry Jack’s M. Haughton, Blockbuster R. Kennedy, S. Surtess, M. O’Loughlan.
UNDER 14
Decimated by injury, the Kangaroos could only field 15 players against Hallam on Sunday morning. In cold, rainy conditions, the team combined well and applied strong pressure and trailed by a goal at quartertime. The Kangaroos dominated the second quarter to lead by two goals at halftime. Hallam capitalised on the wind in the third quarter to lead by five points at threequarter time. Although the Kangaroos fought hard in the last term they were unable to bridge the gap.
Scores: Hallam 3.5.23 d Officer Kangaroos 2.10.22.
Best: Jackson Fromhold, Matt Rogers, Rick Marson, Ben O’Loughlin, Brad Gourley.
