Round three footy started on Anzac Day with our women’s fighting tooth and nail for a narrow loss against Belgrave at Belgrave.
The weather was forecasting a rainy Saturday, but the morning ended up being quite mild, giving the Woori Yallock woman’s team better then expected conditions.
Unfortunately they weren’t able to clinch the win, losing 28-17 against a strong Belgrave side.
In the footy the youngsters had a tough start to the day against a strong top age opponent, Officer, who took on Woori with strength.
The match-up proved to be too difficult for the young Woori side, coming out of the game at a whopping 96 point deficit.
They lost 106-10.
There are lots of good lessons to learn there for the Woori side, and they’ll want to bring that into their next match.
In the reserves, it was a much improved performance with three really good quarters against a top three side from last year, just those little moments that cost the boys in the third quarter, but overall it was a much better performance from the boys.
In the seniors the boys got off to a strong start and set up the day with some great teamwork and defence.
There has to be credit to given to the Officer side – after half time they came out and played some good footy, and put up a good fight.
But, Woori fought through a weakening Officer defence, and managed to claim the game as their own, manoeuvring the ball quickly down the field and scoring a flurry of goals.
In the end it was a comfortable win for the senior men’s team, the scoreline sitting at 120-50.
In the netball, it was mixed results.
The u17s experienced a tough loss, losing to ROC Blue 43-12.
The D grade got over the line in a nail biter to continue their good form.
It was a wildly entertaining match ending at 23-22, with Woori beating the ROC D grade side.
C grade came up against a tough ROC Blue side but couldn’t quite get going, and the score difference only grew by the end and they lost 26-51.
B grade also struggled against quality opposition going down by 13, losing 54-67 to ROC’s B grade side.
However it was great to see the A Grade get their first win of the season in a strong performance, winning 55-45 against ROC’s A grade side.
