Round 4: Sensational C's go top!
Henley 19.9 (123) defeated SHOC 5.6 (36)
Best: De Munk, Mahney, Rayner, Wilson, Matte
Goals: Rayner 7, Barnes, Pierson 3, Walshe, Mahney 2, Meiers, Eadon 1
The sensational C’s continued on their merry way towards a top 3 position this season with an 87 point mauling of SHOC. With several players coming back down from the B grade and missing the experience of ‘Hooker’ Loveder and ‘Lemaze’ Jeffries there was always the danger of the team not gelling and taking the game too lightly. This could not have been further from the truth as the Sharks raced away to a 4 goal first quarter lead which was extended to a ten goal lead by half time. ‘Rhino’ De Munk was feeding Raynes and Barnesy plenty of the footy early while Mahnes was also performing strongly around half forward, taking some great grabs and crumbing the taller forwards. The Sharks took the foot off the gas in the third, something that will certainly need to be addressed in future weeks, but finished well in the final quarter with the wind to record a comfortable 14 goal win. Matte and Willo rounded out the best players and with plenty of players becoming available over the next few weeks, all positions are up for grabs, demanding al players continue to perform.

Round 3: C GRADE vs ADELAIDE UNI
Henley 14.17 (101) def. Adelaide Uni 9.7 (61)
Best: Pitman, Jeffries, Matte, Mahney, DeMunk, Duessen
Goals: Barnes 5, Rugolo 3, Meiers 2, DeMunk, S Jones, King, Stone 1
Coming off a thumping win, Kingy’s Crew were keen to consolidate a top 3 position with another early season win against long-time rivals, the Uni Blacks. The forecast for rain was not of too great a worry for the Sharks, who were confident that their young brigade would have the legs to run out the game in heavy conditions.
