Tough slog as Woori Yallock tackled Upwey-Tecoma



The Woori Yallock men’s footy and netball headed to the cold muddy ground of Upwey-Tecoma on Saturday whilst the senior women’s headed north to Thornton

The Unders probably had their best game for the year with tough uncompromising footy and a win really sets them up for a massive crack at finals.

Upwey-Tecoma 3.4, 22 defeated by Woori Yallock 12.12, 84. Top (Woori) Tigers were Gabriel Conboy, Mason O’Neill, Tyler Ormsby, Noah Dare, Callum Hobbins and Ronan Taylor.

The Ressies continued their strong form, great effort and intent against one of the strongest reserves teams they had seen for a long time, they fought hard to an honourable loss.

Upwey-Tecoma 13.14, 92 defeated Woori Yallock 4.2, 26. Top Tigers were Callum Scott, Chris Lower, Tom Kear, Christian Cameron, Hamish Gemmill and Thomas Heron.

The netball was hit hard by illness and unavailability, the A Grade had a real good crack, B Grade won again and look certain for a finals berth while the C and D sides battled hard for tough losses.

A Grade: Upwey-Tecoma 52 defeated Woori Yallock 43. Top Tigers were Chelsea Smith, Jaymee Tough and Olivia Caneva.

B Grade: Upwey-Tecoma 45 defeated by Woori Yallock 67. Top Tigers were Rebecca Course, Jaymee Tough and Tarsha Collette.

The Senior Women’s footballers made short work of Thornton with a powerful defensive performance, keeping the home team scoreless.

Thornton Eildon 0.0, 0 defeated by Woori Yallock 117, 73. Top Tigers were Jessica Lee, Emily Spicer, Emelia Robin, Casey Wright, Piper Crymble and Keren Wakefield.

The Senior footy was always going to be a battle of wills and in the end, the Woori Tigers’ ability to take advantage of the momentum was the difference in a very tough game for both teams.

Upwey-Tecoma 7.8, 50 defeated by Woori Yallock 9.10, 64. Top Tigers were Baylin Spencer, Blake Muir, Jordan Williams, Zach Monkhorst, Jacob Aitchison and Taylor Gibson.

This week, Woori Yallock hosts Wandin in what’s sure to be a great day of sport.
