Sensational C's go top!
The sensational C’s continued on their merry way towards a top 3 position with an 87 point mauling of SHOC. With several players coming back down from the B grade and with the experience of ‘Hooker’ Loveder and ‘Lemaze’ Jeffries missing, 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 and then extended it 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 we finished well in the final quarter with the wind, to record a comfortable 14 goal victory.
Matte and Willow rounded out the best players. With plenty of players becoming available over the next few weeks, all positions are up for grabs, demanding all players to continue to perform.
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.
