A whole team effort consisting of patience, persistence, effort and pressure got the young Lions the win. We were a bit slow to start in the first quarter with Rochy getting the jump on us but we chipped away, getting vital turnovers and capitalising on our efforts, winning every quarter after the first. Issy Gordon was a fantastic addition to the team, providing options and drive with Charlotte Bradley providing both solid holds and movement in the goal circle. Eden Webster, along with the defensive end were relentless in putting pressure over the ball and getting tips and turnovers. There was amazing teamwork throughout, backing each other and having confidence in releasing the ball. The girls have been working so hard at training and behind the scenes. This win was a long way in the making but was so very well earned and deserved.

The first quarter was an even contest between both sides with Dylan Scopel standing out for his run and drive through the middle of the ground. In the second term, the Lions were able to obtain some breathing space in a five goal to one quarter. While Benalla had a chance to get back in the game, inaccurate kicking in front of goal was capitalised upon by the Lions who played a great final quarter in wet conditions. Jack Murphy and Nathan Beattie were ball magnets again, with Lachlan Beattie putting in a fantastic performance after missing last week through injury. Nathan Fowler provided a target up forward all day but yet again Rory Kennedy showed why he is a star of the future, booting three goals in another impactful game from the 16 year old.
