The big names tangled in Saturday’s game with Narre Warren coach Aussie Jones giving Beaconsfield counterpart Haydn Robins a hard way to go.AFTER an even first half Beaconsfield seniors were overrun by a rampaging Narre Warren on Saturday, going down by 60 points
The Eagles went into the match without ruckman Chris Kelf and the pace was fierce with both sides running hard and early goals to Robins had the crowd on their feet.
The lead constantly changed, but it was the Eagles who took a fivepoint buffer into the break after an entertaining first quarter.
The sides settled in the second quarter with both teams absorbing the pressure.
At the halftime siren, it was the Magpies who held sway by just two points.
The Eagles came out of the blocks early, posting a major to regain the lead early in the third term, but from then on the Narre Warren held sway, kicking eight unanswered goals to have a matchwinning lead at threequarter time.
The final quarter was a much more even affair, but Beaconsfield was less than accurate in front of goal, managing only one from eight scoring shots.
Dean Van Lambaart rucked tirelessly all day and Daniel Clarke was good, having been given the unenviable task of standing Aussie Jones.
